Leave your thoughts about The Beach.
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionSteve MurrayAll the beauty in the world can't camouflage the movie's gorgeous emptiness. |
| San Francisco ExaminerWesley MorrisIt's a movie to feel. Even when the thinking isn't all there, the emotions are, all the way to the film's poignant last seconds. |
| New York PostJonathan ForemanIt doesn't really come off, but it's an admirably ambitious, and mostly very engaging, coming-of-age adventure that apes the spirit of Joseph Conrad. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe Beach taps into something powerful that can't be overwhelmed by individual moments of silliness. |
| PopcornMonika MaurerA kind of adventure holiday for the MTV generation rather than a cautionary tale of a society that turns in on itself. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaDiCaprio's teen idol status may be the primary reason he gets so much ink in the press now, but his talent will keep his name in the memory for years to come. |
| Jam! MoviesBob ThompsonA complete escape package? Not even close. |
| Village VoiceAmy TaubinPlays like a combination of The Blue Lagoon and a video game. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonThe Beach needed a director, because it's a little tough to tell what Danny Boyle was doing all those months in Thailand. |
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonThree-fifths of a great movie sunk by a crucial tonal misstep. A cross between Lord of the Flies, Swiss Family Robinson and Apocalypse Now. |
