Joshua Ratings & Reviews
Film.com
Mark Bourne
...a bewildering extension rather than a retread of this played-out subgenre.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
As horror flicks go this is both smart and suspenseful.
Film.com
Sean P. Means
The nerve-shattering ending will have you hugging your children when you get home - but only if there are witnesses present.
The New Yorker
Shauna Lyon
Fairly absorbing film.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Spooky, relatively realistic, grounded in psychology rather than displays of gore, it could be just the thing to rejuvenate the fading horror genre.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
Sickeningly creepy.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
If you've never wanted to punch a child in the face, see Joshua and discover a whole new side of yourself.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Writer-director George Ratliff may have intended to make a movie no one would enjoy. He's succeeded.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
An unnerving thriller that has a lot more on its maniacal mind than giving us the willies.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
At once familiar and yet startlingly inventive and thrilling.
Chicago Sun-Times
Teresa Budasi
A psychological thriller that's not only lovely to look at but also intriguing enough to keep you guessing until the end. And even then you may not have figured it out.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
You can tell the movie wants to be a kind of Rosemary's Baby or The Omen. But it wants that all too desperately.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It should be mandatory viewing for right-to-lifers and prospective parents as well as fans of creepy, crawly filmmaking.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Harrowing, controlled and diabolically self-assured, Joshua leaves filmgoers teetering on their own emotional precipice, wondering just where pathos ends and pathology begins.
Observer
Rex Reed
Joshua is a reason for applause.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Joshua does grow a bit repetitious (it lacks the cathartic climaxes of a horror film), yet it has cool and savvy fun with your fears.
New York Press
Eric Kohn
Joshua survives its muddled experimentation with homage and mystery primarily due to the ability of its cast to play it straight through all the mood changes.
UGO
Brian Tallerico
While Ratliff deserves credit for trying to use real demons - postpartum depression, child abuse - as elements of horror, Joshua fails to thrill because it never feels remotely realistic.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
It's regrettable that Joshua veers into outlandish Omen/Bad Seed/Good Son territory.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A tense, visually interesting tale that is ultimately a bit barren.
