Thumbsucker Reviews
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
Mills makes his debut in impressive fashion, which means he finds a nice tone with which to take us on this familiar but ultimately rewarding ride.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Quiet, quirky gem.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
A tender but glib coming-of-age journey.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Although often amusing, Thumbsucker lacks the necessary bite.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Brave, funny leap into the abyss of adolescence.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Mills, who hails from the world of music videos and TV commercials, has surrounded Pucci with a superlative group of actors, all of whom are in tune with his quiet, low-key approach to humor.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A smart, funny, sometimes lovely little film.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Mills, working from a novel by Walter Kirn, brings some unusual touches to a film that could easily have become a standard indie coming-of-age tale.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I have focused on Justin, but really the movie is equally about the adult characters, who all seem to have lacked adequate parenting themselves. We talk about the tragedy of children giving birth to children; maybe that can happen at any age.

Sara Michelle Fetters
One thing's for sure, of all the things a person can think to say about this movie one they certainly can't, title to the contrary, is that it sucks.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Respectful performances are given by all, with Pucci the standout. But the actors can't escape the confines of the warmed-over, coming-of-age-in-suburbia script.
Newark Star-Ledger
Lisa Rose
While it isn't a pioneering piece of filmmaking, Thumbsucker travels a familiar path in an engaging way, bolstered by a heady cast and smart, unsparing writing.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Ken Tucker
Unlike so many movies in which a character changes in order to propel the plot forward, this one stops to follow up on the consequences of those changes.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
A gently stirring symphony about emotional transition filled with lovely musical passages and softly nuanced performances.
New Yorker
David Denby
The movie never reaches much of a dramatic climax, but there are many surprises on the way to nowhere, and Mills's refusal to rush brings out the humor and the hidden tensions in material.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
[Vaughn is] playing a different role here and I thought it was a really strong performance.
