Ben X Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A provocative, exultant stunner.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
In adapting his novel and subsequent stage play, first-time writer-director Nic Balthazar seems more intent on impressing World of Warcraft gamers than honestly exploring the inner life of the mildly autistic boy at the center of his story.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
The film is harrowing, if maybe a bit melodramatic, until it crashes and burns in a feel-good ending.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
There's not a moment of warmth or ease in Ben X, Nic Balthazar's punishingly cacophonous debut.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Balthazar's aesthetic is ugly, aloof, maddeningly literal and unimaginative.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
There is a lot to like about this daring drama but the final act pushes the suspension of disbelief to the extreme.
Village Voice
Brian Miller
The best movie I've seen about teen angst since Donnie Darko comes from Belgium?
The Hollywood Reporter
Richard James Havis
[Director Nic] Balthazar's determination to draw a positive message from a negative situation doesn't quite fit.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Writer/director Nic Balthazar, adapting his own novel, would fool most as a first time filmmaker, as "Ben X" compellingly pulls one into Ben's world...
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
There are lessons to be learned, but rarely have such lessons been transformed into such vivid and emotionally affecting drama.
Oregonian
Stan Hall
The Flemish dialogue is not the only distinction of Belgian Nic Balthazar's confident, fearless directorial debut.
L.A. Weekly

Boyd van Hoeij
It would be hard to guess from the final result that Balthazar has never made a film before; Ben X takes full advantage of all that the medium has to offer.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
This is a movie specially made for viewers who like a surprise ending.
Boxoffice Magazine
Chad Greene
Undeniably a high-level achievement.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Greg Timmermans gives an exemplary performance as the title character, making his withdrawn loneliness a palpable thing.
