The New York Times | Manohla DargisAdd Critic to Favorites

Variety | Justin ChangAdd Critic to Favorites

In short, this is a Shyamalan movie minus the bravado, the swagger; there are no audacious attempts to pull out the rug from under the audience, no ham-fisted lessons about the importance of religious belief or the power of storytelling.Read the full review
