Joe MorgensternWall Street Journal
Bloated adaptation of P.D. James's thoughtful, compact novel.

Ray BennettThe Hollywood Reporter
Owen carries the film more in the tradition of a Jimmy Stewart or Henry Fonda than a Clint Eastwood or Harrison Ford. He has to wear flip-flops for part of the time without losing his dignity, and he never reaches for a weapon or guns anyone down. Cuaron and Owen may have created the first believable 21st-century movie hero. show more
