Critic Reviews

Music for the eyes. That's why it has become a treasured classic. That's why we'll see it again and again.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

This movie made my heart glad. It is filled with innocence, hope, and good cheer. It is also wickedly funny and exciting as hell.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Watching E.T now, in an era dominated by cold, loud special-effects-laden extravaganzas, one is struck less by its lavish grandeur than by its intimacy and precision.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

Unchecked goodness has its price, after all, and childhood wonder wouldn't be nearly as sweet if it didn't fade. That may explain the film's appeal. It trapped that feeling, and its sense of possibility, in amber -- then, now, and for any time.Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)

If we approach with sympathy and curiosity, we will be rewarded with same. And our souls, not to mention our bicycles, will soar to the heavens.Full Review
