  1. Negative review
    Tom Long, Detroit News "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" is the kind of movie you want to punch in the nose. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post If imagining a city where people open their doors (or don't) to a boy with a key and a ton of questions is sentimental ... then it is vitally, beautifully so. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Ann Hornaday, Washington Post Stephen Daldry's extremely labored and incredibly crass adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's novel. Full review External link
  4. Negative review
    Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle The difficulty is mainly with the story, which despite all the emotion hovering around it, remains thin and uninvolving. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Wesley Morris, Boston Globe The movie forgoes Foer's ambitious tweeness and presents Oskar's outbursts and moodiness - that precociousness - as a disorder. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer Not for moviegoers who hold that heartstring-plucking is a betrayal of the contract between director and audience. Full review External link
  7. Negative review
    Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune Innocent Oskar and his isn't-life-wondrous adventures left me disappointed, depressed and somewhat irritated. Full review External link
