Critic Reviews

The most popular entry in last year's Seattle International Film Festival family series.Full Review

John Hartl
Film.com

Well-acted, briskly paced and prettily photographed, the film is a mild-mannered family story with a caring heart, and that's ultimately enough to make its 104 minutes worthwhile.Full Review

L.A. Weekly

It may be a hard sell to the Gameboy generation, but The Basket has charms that may be more evident to adults.Full Review

Robin Rauzi
Los Angeles Times

Avoids succumbing to the preachiness that is the bane of so many family films, and for a movie like this, that's no small feat.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

Combines the wholesomeness of "Old Yeller" with the moral and physical claustrophobia of "The Waltons."Full Review
