Stronger Ratings & Reviews
Culturess
Kristen Lopez
Stronger isn't the year's best movie, but it tries something new.
The Atlantic
David Sims
But the movie shouldn't be dismissed as just another real-life drama to catch on cable TV someday; Stronger is a profound, sensitively made gem.
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
The boldest thing Stronger does is trust enough in Maslany's performance and in the writing of her character to allow Erin to do something that a lesser movie would never even attempt.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Green's film has a tense, nervy energy, most of which seems to glow from Gyllenhaal's very core.
Austin Chronicle
Danielle White
There's a complexity to the family dynamic that couldn't be more true-to-life.
Refinery29
Anne Cohen
Stronger is an incredible story of human spirit and endurance - but it's not just Jeff Bauman's. And that's what makes it so powerful.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
"Stronger" always feels right in the moment, solidified by an outstanding central performance by Gyllenhaal, and some wonderful ensemble work, especially the actors just below the top billing.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Its interest in personality over symbolism makes 'Stronger' much better than your average based-on-an-inspirational-true-story situation.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Kevin Lincoln
There are few actors in their 30s more well-rounded than [Jake] Gyllenhaal right now, as capable of taking on disturbing psychologies in aggressive indies as they are the lead roles in crowd-pleasing tearjerkers.
Observer
Rex Reed
I'm a sucker for these survival stories that show the best side of man's humanity, and Gyllenhaal makes this one a stronger achievement than most.
Mashable
Angie Han
What makes Stronger so powerful, though, is that it's not interested in cheap, easy inspiration.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Jake Gyllenhaal is often better than the movies he appears in, and this is true once again in "Stronger,"...
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Kudos to a brilliant, hilariously unexpected performance from Jake Gyllenhaal in a powerhouse biopic about Boston bombing victim Jeff Bauman that doesn't sugarcoat the man's story - and that makes all the difference
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Stronger" is tough and hard and ultimately resilient, just like the story it's telling.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Gyllenhaal gives a performance of great sensitivity, capturing Jeff's offhand, offbeat humor as well as his physical and emotional anguish.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
There's a raw, tangible humanity to nearly every scene that sets the film gratifyingly apart. Jeff might not fit into anyone's glossy front-page idea of hero, but you never doubt for a moment that he's real.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
[Stronger] flips the whole idea of post-9/11 hero worship upside down, in a manner as welcome as it is disturbing.
Newsweek
Abigail Jones
The film and Gyllenhaal do a great job of conveying the consequences of being knighted the symbol of hope, of resistance, of "Boston Strong," and, more broadly, of how exhausting our own fascination with survivors can be on the survivors themselves.
Consequence
Allison Shoemaker
[Stronger] knows what these movies are like, and it wants no part of that manipulative, greedy storytelling. That is, until the last 20 minutes.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
What makes Stronger stand out is the pitch-perfect feel for the dynamic of a loud and constantly bickering and dysfunctional but fiercely loyal and loving extended family.
