CRITICS OF "Marvin's Room"

Reeling Reviews

Its an actor's/writer's movie, but, oh, what acting and writing

April 09, 2005

Resource

Washington Post

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.

February 08, 2010

Film Geek Central

Great work from Dicaprio, De Niro, and especially Streep certainly make the film watchable, but it still can't save it from feeling like a TV movie of the week. If you're a fan of melodrama... and over 60, then you'll find much to like.

May 02, 2013

Resource

San Francisco Chronicle

Any 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.

Film4

At times attractive, at other times dull.

TV Guide

Keaton is given a rare opportunity here to remind us that she's not simply a fine comedienne, and she's marvelous.

February 08, 2010

Resource

Spirituality and Practice

Zany and emotionally-affecting story about death, aging parents, reconciliation, and the healing power of selfless love.

July 12, 2003

Resource

Kansas City Kansan

Slow, depressing family drama finely acted

October 23, 2004

New York Times

Powerhouse casting and a heartbreaking history make the screen version of Marvin's Room more memorable than it otherwise would be.

May 20, 2003

Chicago Reader

The performances are overwhelmed by cinematography so gorgeous and distracting it makes the drama seem like just so much wheel spinning.

February 08, 2010

Resource

Variety

Based on a play by Scott McPherson's who died of AIDS, it's impossible to watch the well-acted film (particularly Diane Keaton, who should get an Oscar nod) without thinking of its themees: the various approaches to love and the strength of family bonds

December 26, 2006

Time Out

Streep gives her most credible blue-collar performance to date; Keaton sidesteps saintliness to mix vulnerability and small heroics.
