CRITICS OF "Empire of the Sun"

Dennis Schwartz

Spielberg knows how to tell a story and this one is worth telling.

August 21, 2014

Resource

Sheila Benson

The film's grave problem is a lack of central heating: We don't have a single character to warm up to.

October 26, 2016

Resource

David Sterritt

[Empire of the Sun] has too much childish buoyancy to serve the disturbing historical events it's ostensibly based on.

October 26, 2016

Resource

Variety Staff

No special use is made of the talents of Miranda Richardson, Nigel Havers, Joe Pantoliano and the others, so it is up to young English thesp Bale to engage the viewer's interest, which he does superbly.

June 02, 2008

Resource

Cathy Burke

Empire of the Sun is a breathtaking movie in its scope and energy. It's just that, true to its childlike quality, this film is just a little too over-anxious to get its point across.

August 23, 2016

Resource

Joanna Berry

Now considered a trial run for the more moving, horrifying and involving Schindler's List, Steven Spielberg's drama, set in China during the Second World War, is a glossy and rather tame affair.

October 26, 2016

Resource

Tim Brayton

The best mix in his directorial career between typical Spielbergian flourishes of audience-friendly spectacle and seriousness of intent.

April 07, 2013

Resource

Richard Corliss

Spielberg has dreamed of flying before, and this time he earns his wings.

May 17, 2009

Resource

Jonathan Rosenbaum

The pseudomystical vagueness that seems to be Spielberg's stock-in-trade stifles most of the particularity of the source.

October 26, 2016

Resource

Gene Siskel

This is derivative melodrama with Spielberg hedging his bets by ripping off his previous adventure films to lighten a story that cries out not to be turned into a comic book.

October 26, 2016

Resource

Dave Kehr

Empire of the Sun wants very badly to be a great film, though as Steven Spielberg really ought to know by now, wishing doesn't make it so.
