Sarah's Key Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Thomas carries the weight of the movie, and her usual sangfroid works against her; when she finally makes contact with the deported couple's grandson, the story crumples into sentimentality
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Thomas' performance is one of brilliant restraint and believable naturalism.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Both Sarah and Julia emerge as distinct characters whose experiences are hardly comparable but whose perseverance in the face of daunting odds is most honorable.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It does provide audiences with the satisfaction of seeing and hearing an important truth expressed, and that's better than making you feel good. That's making you feel something.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Luckily, the movie has Scott Thomas. She knows her radiance can't be helped, so she uses it here like a searchlight.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Based on a popular novel by Tatiana De Rosnay, Sarah's Key has perhaps a few too many coincidences and complications, but its impact is undeniable. The scars of war never truly heal.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A movingly told tale of tragedy and its consequences, not just for the players in the original tragedy but also for those touched by their actions, in an ever-widening circle of aftershocks.
Dallas Morning News
Joy Tipping
Fans of the book will be glad to hear that it's a faithful adaptation, if markedly less compelling than de Rosnay's prose.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Sarah's Key," based on the novel by Tatiana de Rosnay, struggles with a problem it never overcomes: How do you make viewers care about everyday problems when juxtaposed with the horror of the Holocaust?
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Excellent performances make the movie effective. Yet the flashbacks have a depth and resonance largely absent from the modern scenes.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
When it finds the right room, "Sarah's Key" unlocks a haunting story.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
While the flashbacks come to life through small acts of courage and kindness amid epic-scale evil, the frame story is a recurring letdown that feels trivial and contrived.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"Sarah's Key" cuts back and forth between a tragic story involving the Holocaust and an essentially trivial, feel-good story about a modern-day reporter. It's an awkward fit and diminishes the impact of the earlier story.

Leonard Maltin
If there is any justice this summer that's not being meted out by a comic-book superhero, discerning moviegoers will find their way to Sarah's Key, the moving adaptation of Tatiana De Rosnay's international best-seller. It's one of the year's best-
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A dramatic tale of survival and horrific memories struggles against distracting melodrama in "Sarah's Key," and unfortunately, melodrama wins.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Clunky, improbable plot developments match equally inept dialogue.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
Scott Thomas, arguably the best British actress who managed never to be cast in the Harry Potter series, makes for a perfect audience surrogate.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Plot contrivances that may have passed for intricacies in the book ... now ring as false as Sarah's story rings true.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The glib story and hectoring structure undermine the filmmakers' best intentions.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
Unflinching yet poignant, Sarah's Key asks just how deeply you want to delve into your past.
