The Son's Room Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Meredith Brody
With tender skill, Moretti illuminates Samuel Beckett's familiar summation "I can't go on-I'll go on."
Newsweek
David Ansen
Like a good shrink, Moretti watches with an unflinching but compassionate eye.
Chicago Reader
With tender skill, [director] Moretti illuminates Samuel Beckett's familiar summation 'I can't go on--I'll go on.'
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Nothing in The Son's Room is conventionally sentimental or reassuring.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Ranks with such films as In the Bedroom, Ordinary People, and Terms of Endearment in the sensitivity with which it observes the effect a child's death on the remaining members of the family.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
The Son's Room addresses both death and life with honesty and respect.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Often called Italy's answer to Woody Allen, Nanni Moretti takes a turn for the serious in The Son's Room and acquits himself in first-rate fashion.
Seattle Times
Eli Sanders
We are given characters so gentle and so human that we become instantly fond of them.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
The Son's Room is ... not an interruption in [Moretti's] career, but a leap upward to a spiritual epiphany graced with visual elegance and energy.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Stands apart for its raw, quiet emotion and its shattering sense of truth.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Surprisingly powerful and universal.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A deceivingly simple film, one that grows in power in retrospect.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The best way to see The Son's Room is to know the title and the location of the theater, and that's all.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Sometimes in a quite ordinary way a director can reach out and touch us.
Boston Globe
Chris Fujiwara
The Son's Room is a triumph of gentility that earns its moments of pathos.
Dallas Morning News
Charles Ealy
It's rare for any movie to be as subtle and touching as The Son's Room.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Moretti doesn't wrap the grieving, the angst, in melodrama. The facts are given. And the suffering is palpable.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
The Son's Room, possesses a quiet, haunting realism, fueled by an excellent script and assured performances all around.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Delicately distinctive; it's the kind of picture that stirs subterranean rumbles of empathy in us rather than flashy, gushing waves.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Moretti ... is the rare common-man artist who's wise enough to recognize that there are few things in this world more complex -- and, as it turns out, more fragile -- than happiness.
