The Theory of Flight Ratings & Reviews
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Unprincipled in its naked contrivance.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Theory of Flight is actually fairly enjoyable. [But] when you see Dance Me to My Song, you're struck by the difference. Two movies. Same story. Same objective. Similar characters. Similar situation. One is an entertainment. The other is a thunderbolt.

Michael Dequina
It's one thing to be offbeat and unconventional and quite another to be unbelievable.
Nitrate Online
Elias Savada
The cinematic equivalent to experimental light aircraft, this is a bumpy ride that sputters and fails, not quite crashing yet never soaring above its earnest intentions.
Film Journal International
Chris Grunden
Carter's bravura performance is the reason to see The Theory of Flight, but it's a shame that nothing else in the film matches the obvious care she put into her role.
James Sanford on Film
James Sanford
Kenneth Branagh and Helena Bonham Carter generate enough good will to keep aloft a charming bit of whimsy that probably would crash and burn with lesser talents at the controls.
