| CinemaSense.ComCornell & PetricelliUnfortunately, despite a praise worthy performance by Elisabeth Shue, the movie did not leave us with a lasting impression or emotional connection. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIt is moving and has been well-crafted with much care. |
| Apollo GuideChristabel PadmoreShue's character is supposed to be sweet, but Molly is a shallow and tiresome movie. |
| New York PostLou LumenickShallow and blatantly manipulative variation on "Awakenings" in which every plot development is telegraphed. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxFor all its sensitivity, the film abounds with movie cliches about the developmentally challenged. |
| CitysearchSteven BooneBeautiful as she is, Elisabeth Shue is simply impossible to watch without cringing whenever she tries to do autistic. |
| The New York TimesStephen Holden(Shue's) sweetly likable performance is the only coherent element in a film that has the impersonal feel of a television drama slapped together in a rush. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittShallow and sentimental in the sappiest Hollywood tradition. |
| L.A. WeeklyStefan ThielThis movie's already been entertaining (or boring) airline passengers for months. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael Dequina89 minutes of Shue's strained Acting display is 89 more than anyone should ever have to endure. |
