Movie Reviews

New York Times - 9/10 by Janet MaslinPowerhouse casting and a heartbreaking history make the screen version of Marvin's Room more memorable than it otherwise would be.
ReelViews - 9/10 by James BerardinelliYet, even on those occasions when the screenplay falters, the actors are there to take up the slack.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe famous faces make it difficult, at first, to sink into the story, but eventually we do; the characters become so convincing that even if we're aware of Keaton and Streep, it's as if these events are happening to them.
The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Keith PhippsNonetheless, Marvin's Room is not only sharply written and well-acted, but it's also the rare sort of film that takes an honest and uncompromising look at death and dying.
Time Out - 8/10 by Wally HammondStreep gives her most credible blue-collar performance to date; Keaton sidesteps saintliness to mix vulnerability and small heroics.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Edward GuthmannAny movie with Meryl Streep is an occasion, but when you add Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hume Cronyn and Gwen Verdon, you've got an embarrassment of riches.
Boston Phoenix - 8/10 by Peter KeoughA It's all plinky-plink pianos and mewing oboes, trying to jerk those tears a little too hard. No, a lot too hard. The music is awful. Stupendously bad.
Cinematter - 8/10 by Madeleine WilliamsWell acted, but not often believable, dysfunctional family drama.
San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by Barbara ShulgasserAdd to that a perfect cast and one's only complaint will be that this is, at heart, another tear-jerker about how good it is to love and be alive and all of that.
Time - 8/10 by Richard CorlissMarvin's Room, the 1991 Scott McPherson play, filmed by Jerry Zaks, is an old-fashioned weepie of noble mien with many bright moments and a superb cast.
