Hearts in Atlantis Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Above average coming of age story.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Audiences with an appreciation or even a tolerance of this genre will find this to be above average.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Hicks ... coats the film in a bogus idyllic mist that substitutes cheap sentiment for blunt truth.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
The unblinking sympathy for kids struggling with evil and with the strange frequencies of prepubescent passion can, if your defenses are down, lay you out.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Falls squarely into the near miss category.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Hicks's film is magical, but its magic comes not from the inexplicable phenomena we most commonly associate with King, but from the charms of childhood.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
A precious respite from the postmodern era and all that it entails.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Much of Hearts feels a little empty, a little unmotivated.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Unabashedly sentimental, it's meant to touch our hearts in profound and important ways, but misses the mark by drawing too deeply from a pool of schmaltz.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
The story's enchantment feels forced and coy, its mysteries tricked-up and flimsy.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A fussy piece of schmaltz that makes you long for Stand By Me, a vastly superior coming-of-age tale from King's pen.
Observer
Rex Reed
A sweet coming-of-age story set in the summer of 1960, akin in mood to [King's] Stand by Me.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Put simply, the movie drags.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
The performances are all first-rate, reinforcing the promise Hicks showed in the beautifully acted Shine.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
Going for transcendence, [Hicks] gives us lugubriousness.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
A poignant and often beautifully acted film.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
The acting is so good, you almost want to forgive the fact that they're not saying anything, and the film has no real point.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
A pungently evocative, beautifully burnished mood piece.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Rarely does a movie make you feel so warm and so uneasy at the same time.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A nostalgic fiasco so shameless it makes movies like Simon Birch and Frequency seem as austere as the work of Robert Bresson.
