Critic Reviews

A film that grows in reflection. The first time I saw it, I was hurtling down the tracks of a goofy ethnic comedy when suddenly we entered dark and dangerous territory. I admired the film but did not sufficiently appreciate its arc.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

For one of those obstreperously original books that are themselves impossible to translate, Everything Is Illuminated is impressively well lit.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

Though not as far-reaching as the book from which it was adapted, Everything Is Illuminated is a movie with wit, warmth and unabashed emotion.Full Review

Claudia Puig
USA Today

An almost screwball comedy that turns serious.Full Review

G. Allen Johnson
San Francisco Chronicle

Wood's powerlessness to break out of the emotive straightjacket hands the picture to his Russian costars on a platter, and they run with it.Full Review
