Ezra Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Sergio Burstein
A film that nevertheless deserves to be seen and discussed.
Film Obsessive
Don Shanahan
Rightfully so, the prevailing message of Ezra becomes seeing your kid's needs and celebrating their strengths, no matter the traits or labels.
Cambridge Day
Tom Meek
Despite the film's title and Fitzgerald hitting a long ball in his big-screen debut, this is Cannavale's film.
The Michael Medved Show
Michael Medved
This film, full of painful scenes of self-destructive excess, is worth it as well, partially because of the outstanding performance of 15-year-old William Fitzgerald, an autistic young man in real life, who does a remarkable job as the title character.
Epoch Times
Mark Jackson
Autism has proliferated since the 1990s. The very fine "Ezra" puts a human face on the situation and sets up the coming Big Pharma exposé doc "Protocol 7."
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
a heartfelt, humorous and sometimes harrowing yarn.
New York Times
Natalia Winkelman
What keeps the story sweet is the chemistry between Cannavale and Fitzgerald, who build a bond worth cherishing.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
Heartbreaking and hilarious, Ezra is a contemporary audience-pleaser that inspires laughter and tears, sometimes simultaneously.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
The film's portrayal of parental worry and how worry can tap people's reserves, making them act irrationally or impulsively, is insightful and perceptive.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Tony Goldwyn had no problems enlisting a talented cast but the script by Tony Spiridakis ("If Lucy Fell") asks for a lot of leeway and never quite finds its footing.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Rides an emotional honesty that's almost completely undone by the sweaty contrivances of its plotting. But this modest little movie's refusal to be limited by its "problem" feels like a step in the right direction.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
The underlying integrity of "Ezra," what makes it an honest film despite some formula devices, is that its message about how to help children with special needs is that there's no magic way.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Cannavale channels the emotional complexities and vulnerabilities of his character with compassionate clarity.
AV Club
Emma Keates
The film is a tender and touching ode to the Ezras of the world, and the people who love them.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's a terrible thing to realize, as a viewer, that you're expected to be rooting for an imbecile. But it's even more terrible to realize that the filmmakers don't think that he's an imbecile.
Slant Magazine
Charles Lyons-Burt
The film gets within striking distance of new territory for its subject matter but stalls out due to its pat storytelling.
DwightBrownInk.com
Dwight Brown
All production elements are decent, from music to cinematography and production design. Yet nothing stands out or lifts this story above its noble ambitions.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Valerie Complex
The film navigates the bumpy terrain of two parents grappling with the challenges posed by their son's ASD.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
Earns its crowd-hugging stripes legitimately thanks to its superb ensemble and sensitive direction that never gets in the way of its knowing script.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
The three leads do a lot of heavy lifting-I would love to see Cannavale in more lead roles-but "Ezra" ultimately succumbs to manipulative plotting when it needs to be heartfelt.
