The Keys To The House Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Tough and sensible film, whose heart is in the right place.
Movies for the Masses
Joseph Proimakis

culturevulture.net
Gloria Monti
Takes on the challenge of overcoming the obstacles entailed in working with a handicapped actor.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Amelio, one of the true modern heirs of the great Italian neo-realist tradition, is a filmmaker of great subtlety, emotional precision and socio-psychological acumen.
Variety
Deborah Young
Radiates a warm humanity and uplifts the spirit.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
A touching tale.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Amelio deals with the sensitive subject in a mature matter, refusing to descend into Hollywood-style schmaltz.
Reel.com
Timothy Knight
A film of quiet, understated power and authentic grace.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
It takes a story that could be turned into the most florid kind of tear-jerker and instead tells it with an exactness and a restraint that makes it powerfully effective.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Both Rossi and Charlotte Rampling, as the mother of another young patient, do fine work. But the only surprises come at the end, too late to move us the way they should.
E! Online
This compelling Italian drama will have you weeping before the credits roll.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
The kind of quietly unassuming tear-jerker that works its way into your heart despite the occasional cries of protest emanating from your head.
Los Angeles Daily News
Bob Strauss
We always understand why these people feel the way they do and, remarkably, believe we well might act the same were we in their shoes.
Village Voice
Leslie Camhi
Amelio's camera captures with subtlety and without sentimentality the state of mind of a parent for whom every child running freely in the park is a painful reminder of another's limitations.
Film Journal International
Lewis Beale
A film that treats a difficult subject with the delicacy of real art.
Boxoffice Magazine
Kevin Courrier
Such a minimalist drama that, if not for the actors, we'd barely care if father and son ever reconcile.
L.A. Weekly
Kim Morgan
Subtle yet powerfully subversive look into the emotional toll and confusion of dealing with a disabled child.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
The Keys to the House is a compelling Italian drama about a father-son reunion and the bravery needed to open one's heart to another.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Feels as if its being telegraphed from a cosmic fugue state, and means to get (and stay) beneath the skin.
european-films.net
Boyd van Hoeij
I left the cinema feeling rather frustrated because the potential for a great film was so clearly there.
