The Crossing Guard Ratings & Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
The movie is dramatically shapeless and pretentious too, but as director, Sean Penn gets powerful performances from his central trio: Nicholson, Anjelica Huston, and David Morse.

Steve Crum
So-so character study directed by Sean Penn, featuring Jack Nicholson, Robin Wright.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a slow-paced yet mostly engrossing drama...
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
I came to value the clumsy moments in which Penn seemed to be groping for truth and meaning along with the characters.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
Moving, unpredictable and psychologically complex.

Cole Smithey
Deep, dark and memorable.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Haunting character study by Nicholson in a grim, effective film.

Scott Weinberg
Sober, serious and rough. Nicholson's in rare form.

Fred Topel
Wonderful drama about loss with powerful performances
USA Today
Mike Clark
though Penn doesn't always seem to know where he's going, his movie doesn't altogether miss its destination.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What is good about this film is very good, but there are too many side trips, in both the plot and the emotions, for the film to draw us in fully.
