Restless Ratings & Reviews
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
If you haven't seen a wasting disease in real life, you might think "Restless" is romantic. If you have, you might diagnose it as terminally cute.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Restless, in the long run, will be nothing but a minor curiosity in the filmographies of the otherwise talented Wasikowska, Hopper, and Van Sant.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Restless is consciously lovely in the face of death. How rare.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
This low-budget movie takes its time filling in the backgrounds of its characters. That works for a while, but when it's over you may wonder if that's all there is.
Arizona Republic
Richard Nilsen
Gus Van Sant doesn't make bad movies.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Is the title meant as a joke? A torpidly precious love story about death-obsessed adolescents, the film's becalmed and embalmed in its own sensitive self-pity.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
In its episodic bits of quirk and whimsy, and its romantic morbidity, it's a project that smacks of film school - you can practically follow the cookie crumbs of Wes Anderson and Harold and Maude and the French New Wave.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
It may not be grounded enough to be emotionally effective, but another strong performance from the stellar Mia Wasikowska and a consistency to its vision make Restless worth a look.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Not this era's "Love Story," despite its most ingratiating efforts to find meaning, laughter and romance by way of a too-young protagonist battling cancer.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
[A] moody, tiresomely whimsical tale.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
The film is morbid and mawkish, and packed with enough forced whimsy to make you scream.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
An uncommonly touching romance about a young man and woman who essentially worship at the shrines of their own deaths.

Leonard Maltin
Restless has some touching moments as the two loners realize they're falling in love, but it threatens to suffocate in its own quaintness. It's only natural for teenagers to see life in outsized proportions...
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This overly twee, morbidly cute romance initially digs up the ageless "Harold and Maude" as a touchstone before it slips the coils of watchability.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Unlike Van Sant's grittier, less sentimental recent small films, it's twee enough to make your teeth ache. It's the director's biggest miscalculation since "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" 18 years ago.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
The film errs on the side of formula even as it carries the sheen and delicacy of something handmade.
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
Van Sant gives the young lovers the sort of gauzy, dreamily sensitive treatment that he's able to deliver in his sleep by now - but too often it seems like he might be working on just such a sleep-induced autopilot.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
More care seems to have gone into wardrobe choices than into clever dialogue or plot.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
"Restless" can get under your skin, even if you are suspicious of its motives and dubious of its ideas.
