Leave your thoughts about Radio Flyer.
| Empire MagazineWilliam ThomasThe nostalgic details are charming, there are excellent if skimpy effects (a giant buffalo, a Bigfoot cameo) and the children (Elijah Wood, Joseph Mazzello) are quite wonderful, but it's a puzzling, borderline distasteful film. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIf nothing else, Radio Flyer is an original: The first feel-good movie about child abuse. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe movie's ultimate reliance on wish-fulfillment is downright irresponsible. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanDonner and Evans can't find a way to extricate themselves from the impossible structure they have erected. They remain locked into the odd combination of the dreamy and the dreadful that is entirely of their own devising. |
| Baltimore SunStephen HunterWhat you get in Radio Flyer is an unholy brew of whimsy and blasphemy. It flits from the unwatchable to the unbelievable, with nary a pause between them and the effect, to say the least, is unsettling. |
| Chicago TribuneMark CaroA queasy combination of whimsy and child abuse. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovDonner has never been known as one who directs with a light touch, and Radio Flyer suffers from the same sense of weightiness that has bogged down so many of his other pictures. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonToo dark and upsetting for the family trade, this tale of a sadistic stepfather takes too many wrong moves to satisfy adults. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversDespite the flaws, Evans's thoughtful script and the unclichTd performances of Wood and Mazzello exert a powerful grip. The film stays with you. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloChild abuse, alcoholism in coming-of-age tearjerker. |
