Meet Joe Black Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
A savory, extralong feature whose obvious plotlines unfold with an almost painful slowness that somehow makes them deeper.
Baltimore Sun
Ann Hornaday
To call the three-hour-long "Meet Joe Black" leaden would do an injustice to lead.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
I've never encountered such dramatic flatulence, never heard so many pregnant silences that don't deliver, never watched so many close-ups that graze on actors' faces until every last trace of expression has been devoured.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Pitt, who is not asked to do much more here than behave alternately like a robot, a bashful boy and a moron, fulfills his modest tasks with aplomb. When he has to act, though, he fares less well.
Zaki's Corner
Zaki Hasan
Meet Joe Black marks the latest in a succession of strong turns by Anthony Hopkins. More than even [Brad] Pitt, the film serves as a showcase for the versatile and talented Oscar winner.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
You just feel like you're dragging a set of dumbbells around with you while you're watching it.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Meet Joe Black is sometimes clever and enjoyable, even touching, yet too often the film makes you feel as if you're in Sunday school.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
What might have been an effective fantasy if handled with sophistication and insouciance is instead weighed down by ponderous pacing, overstuffed production values and an instance of miscasting.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Long but never boring, spiritual but never soggy, this is the brand of big entertainment Hollywood is best at but so rarely does right these days.
Film Quips Online
John R. McEwen
Meet Joe Black is a film with potential that could have been helped immeasurably by being cut to 2 hours.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Is weighed down by a tediously slow pace and overwrought production values.
Matinee Magazine
Chuck Rudolph
The latest masterpiece to fall victim to cynicism.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie contains elements that make it very good, and a lot of other elements besides. Less is more.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's an elegiac love story from beyond the grave, as appealingly simple as it is emotionally complex.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
It's so long that every character regrettably wears out his or her welcome.
