Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
In adapting his novel and subsequent stage play, first-time writer-director Nic Balthazar seems more intent on impressing World of Warcraft gamers than honestly exploring the inner life of the mildly autistic boy at the center of his story.

rotten:
The film is harrowing, if maybe a bit melodramatic, until it crashes and burns in a feel-good ending.

A provocative, exultant stunner.

There's not a moment of warmth or ease in Ben X, Nic Balthazar's punishingly cacophonous debut.
