| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineThe music is never as impressive as the filmmakers want you to think but the filmmaking itself is often very good - good enough to keep you watching and plugged in |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashLikely to evoke love it or hate it sentiments, and I loved it. |
| Examiner.comJeff BeckThe result is not only one of the best musical adaptations to come along in the last few years, but also the best film of 2012. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThe piercing sincerity of this stupendous, heart-wrenching epic would move even the most jaded cynic. See it and weep. |
| Flixist.comMatthew RazakWhile nothing will be as powerful as seeing it live on stage, Hooper directs the film with a straight forward brashness that shows a brave faith in his actors and the material. |

| Cinema SightWesley LovellA sweeping, musical spectacle filled with wonderful performances and a keen political awareness. |
| Independent (UK)Nicola ChristieThe result is performances that are raw, real and devastating in their emotional punch. |
| New York Magazine/VultureDavid EdelsteinThe tasteless bombardment that is Les Misérables would, under most circumstances, send audiences screaming from the theater, but the film is going to be a monster hit and award winner, and not entirely unjustly. |
