| Big HollywoodJohn HanlonAbsolutely masterful in both its production and its performances, this drama is easily one of the year's best. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonald[It] will blow you away -- for its audacity; for James Franco's performance; for the way that, by the end, it leaves you feeling connected to the strangers sitting next to you, and happier to be part of humankind. |
| Indie Movies OnlineKimberly GadetteBoyle gives us an unrelenting film, with pitch-perfect pacing and tension, never overstaying the story's welcome. Franco's portrayal is magnificent, reflecting more colors than a Utah sky at sunset. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanVisually creative, well-acted, and immensely immersive, it sends you out on a high, not on a low. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeIn every sense, 127 Hours is masterful -- even brilliant -- filmmaking. |
| Reno News and ReviewBob GrimmThe finest film Danny Boyle has made...time to throw an Oscar at James Franco. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomIt is one of the best films of the year, a gritty and triumphant inspirational story of one man's indomitable will to live despite the slimmest of odds. |
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinA film that no sane movie exec would ever commission. Fortunately for us, though, there are no sane movie execs. |
| Digital SpyBen Rawson-JonesDescribed by Boyle as an "action movie with a guy who can't move", 127 Hours is a dynamic gem that makes for thrilling, if often uneasy, viewing. |
| Times-PicayuneMike Scott127 Hours -- just like "Slumdog Millionaire" -- is a masterful slice of four-star cinema, featuring an irresistible performance by James Franco, breathtaking cinematography, and the kind of deep, searching soul that is absent from so much of what comes out of Hollywood. |
