Critics' reviews

"[It] is surely one of the most novelistic and literary-feeling of King adaptations (...) 'Lisey’s Story' is indeed overflowing with ideas — sometimes grandiose, sometimes goofy — that play better on the page than the screen"

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"[It] doesn’t use Julianne Moore to full effect (...) While it may be Lisey’s story, it’s Scott’s show (...) Lisey’s coming out of grief is, at times, practically a subplot (...) There’s much here that works well"

Daniel D'Addario: Variety
"It has immense range, touching upon every shade of darkness within the human spirit. But it has little tact in how it expresses its themes"

Nick Allen: The Playlist
"It’s one sprawling story; a novel uncomfortably stretched across eight episodes (...) Perhaps this entire adaptation was a mistake"

Chris Evangelista: SlashFilm
"What it all means isn’t abundantly clear, but the longer 'Lisey’s Story' goes, the more it succeeds as a sensory experience than one governed by logic."

Steve Greene: IndieWire
"'Lisey’s Story' is, on all fronts, too much. Too long, too over-produced, too many talents, too overwrought, too much going on."

Fionnuala Halligan: Screendaily
a limited series that earns a spot alongside the best adaptations of any Stephen King novel (...) Moore and Allen who deliver career highlight acting"
