Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Something more subtle is going on in Wolff's book, a confrontation with a richer, quirkier past and his emerging self that the movie too often brushes aside.
– Richard Corliss,
TIME Magazine,
8 Feb 2010
fresh:
The leads work overtime to make their characters and their relationships pungent, believable, and moving.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
8 Feb 2010
rotten:
Nicely acted but excessively bland.
– Todd McCarthy,
Variety,
3 Jun 2008
fresh:
It's a rites-of-passage drama with the kind of period small-town setting that the director is making his own.
– Wally Hammond,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
rotten:
This Boy's Life is so steeped in period detail (music, cars, television shows, hair styles) that Toby and Caroline's sad, bumbling search for freedom seems secondary, almost impolite to the decor.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
