Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Reiner seems lost in his own cinematic wilderness -- button-down careful, almost afraid to move
– Pat Graham,

rotten:
Stand by Me is a film of honorable ambitions severely compromised by a creeping show-biz phoniness.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Tribune,
26 Jun 2013
fresh:
It stands, sweet and strong, ribald, outrageous and funny, like its heroes themselves -- a bit gamy around the edges, perhaps, but pure and fine clear through. It's one of those treasures absolutely not to be missed.
– Sheila Benson,
Los Angeles Times,
26 Jun 2013
fresh:
Its perspective is that of a knowing adult, which is to say that though the film is frequently affectionate and funny, it contains a drop too much condescension to be entirely successful.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,

fresh:
Stand by Me is a small, quiet film that walks tall and resonates long after.
