The Hedgehog Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This a movie with such a light, stylish touch, it makes no claims to profundity and is a sweetly hopeful experience.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
"The Hedgehog" sneaks up on you with its heartfelt storytelling and sophisticated wit.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"The Hedgehog" is a treat: a movie that's smart, grown-up, wry and deeply moving.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A reminder that, sometimes, the movies can get a beloved book exactly right.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Enchantment will go a long way toward overcoming implausibility, but there's not enough of the former here - and far too much of the latter.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
A satisfying emotional experience.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
What does happen seems to happen in slow motion.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
An exquisite, intimate film of restraint and delicacy.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
An enchanting grown-up fairy tale about the redemptive power of love.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Comedy and tragedy are given equal respect, and even the quietest souls are valued.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Balasko, however, makes The Hedgehog worth seeing.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Gentle, tender and very French, "The Hedgehog" is cinematic poetry -- too bad about that prosaic plotting.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Le Guillermic is fine in this calm comedy of subverted exteriors and expectations, but it's the remarkably unpretentious -- earthy, even -- Balasko who anchors Achache's adaptation.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
It is pleasant enough, but it is like a frame without the picture.
Chicago Reader
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Lacking any depth of its own, this upper-middlebrow French drama resorts to the old trick of referencing acknowledged masters.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The Hedgehog is not exactly a naturalistic drama, and its winsome charm and annoying contrivance are thoroughly intertwined.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
As with Submarine, The Hedgehog proves that Rushmore's influence has now completely spread across the Atlantic.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The film's moral can be distilled in the famous E. M. Forster dictum from "Howards End": "only connect." This endearing, if somewhat twee, movie gently reminds you of its truth.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Mona Achache's first film follows two parallel storylines: one featuring a thoroughly insufferable little girl, the other a pleasingly grumpy middle-aged widow.
