In America Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
The feelings Sheridan evokes in the last scenes are earned: they encapsulate the whole story. And they stay with you long after it's over.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Moving but slightly graphic; mature teens only.
Chicago Reader
Meredith Brody
The result is a blend of kitchen-sink and magical realism: sentimental, but well acted and freshly observed.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Superbly evokes the depression, anxiety, joy, misery, and aggravation of family life.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
At its best, the movie has a supernal glow that you can practically warm your hands by.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
As good as the Bolger sisters are, it's the hard-edged performances of Considine and Morton that truly bring urgency to the material.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
One of the two or three best movies of the year, In America is easily the most emotionally satisfying.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
These characters are so likable, the young girls so engagingly delightful, that we root for these survivors to succeed and overcome.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Deeply moving and funny.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
In America, on paper, sounds dangerously close to sentimentality, but Sheridan keeps the movie's tone just off-kilter enough to avoid it.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Has a simple, undeniable power.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
An achingly intimate and beautifully observed account of the immigrant experience.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Jim Sheridan's In America doesn't just tear at the heart strings. It rips them out, cuts them up, sets the pieces on fire and pours cold water on the ashes.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
If the film is manipulative, at least it's subtly manipulative.
Arizona Republic
Kathy Cano-Murillo
A genuine, refreshing film about embracing life's challenges and rewards.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
A wondrously emotional film, one that sneakily dismantles your defenses and purges grief you didn't realize you had.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
The love that permeates every frame of this comic drama quickly makes it apparent that this is something dear to the filmmakers' hearts.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Redeemed by the joyousness of family life that Mr. Sheridan captures from his agile and resourceful foursome.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Even better is the slow, almost languid friendship that develops between the family and the angry African artist living a life in the shadows behind the closed doors of his apartment.
DVDTalk.com
Keith Uhlich
New York is as magical here as was Steven Spielberg's everywhere suburbia in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982).
