Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It is refreshingly undogmatic about its characters.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
13 Sep 2002
fresh:
Touches smartly and wistfully on a number of themes, not least the notion that the marginal members of society ... might benefit from a helping hand and a friendly kick in the pants.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
13 Sep 2002
fresh:
Elling, portrayed with quiet fastidiousness by Per Christian Ellefsen, is a truly singular character, one whose frailties are only slightly magnified versions of the ones that vex nearly everyone.
– Ann Hornaday,
Washington Post,
13 Sep 2002
fresh:
A charming but slight comedy.
– Michael O'Sullivan,

fresh:
It's affectionate and optimistic without being fuzzy.
