Limited Series Reviews
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
The show, directed by Shawn Levy, doesn't dig into the big issues it raises, most notably about the possibility of redemption in such extreme circumstances. It skirts them, focusing more on the atmospherics.
Variety
Alison Herman
Knight and Levy aim for an uplifting, inspirational tale of connection that transcends division, distance and prejudice, but instead deliver a flat, jumbled story that lacks the desired effect.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Everything about All the Light We Cannot See screams prestige, which makes the lifelessness of this four-part Netflix limited series more pronounced. Handsomely done and strangely hopeful, it has all the hallmarks of an ambitious misfire.
Chicago Reader
Brooks Eisenbise
This wartime miniseries suffers from the same shortcomings as its source material.
ABC News
Peter Travers
Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of wartime courage under fire has been turned into a botch job of epic proportions, a shockingly shallow drama series that dims the light of everyone involved in its misbegotten creation.
TheWrap
Carla Meyer
Director Shawn Levy ("Stranger Things," "Night at the Museum") and screenwriter Steven Knight ("Eastern Promises") apparently took a straightforward approach. Their adaptation of the story simply turned out odd, and mostly bad.
New York Times
Mike Hale
The series feels starved of narrative oxygen, of the kind of texture and detail (present in the book) that could give it real life.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
[It] isn't just inferior to the book; it's a schmaltzy, incompetent, borderline offensive mess whose mere existence tarnishes the book's legacy.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
Even though All the Light We Cannot See has the ability to show its viewers everything, it never provides enough compelling drama to go with all the pretty pictures.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
The core malfunction of "All the Light We Cannot See" seems to lie in Messrs. Knight and Levy, with the collaboration of their cast, having made a story populated not by people of the 1940s, but by people from a movie of the 1940s.
NPR
David Bianculli
Worthwhile and heartening. In the midst of the darkness and horror of war, the "Light" in the title refers to hope.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Some books should stay on the page.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Often overwrought and done in by an overstated screenplay, Shawn Levy's four-part limited Netflix series still manages to entertain, only with old-school melodramatic flourishes.
AV Club
Cindy White
When it gives you a chance to catch your breath, All The Light We Cannot See can be wonderfully transporting.
RogerEbert.com
Marya E. Gates
Nothing about this final product suggests that Levy or Knight were the right choice to bring this story to the screen. Their vision for Doerr's novel is shallow, messy, and, most unfortunately, instantly forgettable.
The Playlist
Brian Tallerico
The standout of "All the Light We Cannot See" by some stretch is newcomer Aria Mia Loberti as Marie-Laure LeBlance.
indieWire
Ben Travers
It's speedy, tear-jerking, and handsome enough. Still, applying any amount of scrutiny exposes the insincerity and contradictions within.
Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
A hollowed-out adaptation of rich source material.
Tell-Tale TV
Jerrica Tisdale
All The Light We Cannot See isn't a terrible series. It just doesn't fully capture what it set out to accomplish. It feels like untapped potential.
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
Adapting a beloved novel isn't easy but screenwriter Steven Knight and director Shawn Levy deliver timely relevance since antisemitism is - once again - rampant - and casting blind actors gives incredible authenticity to their sensitive portrayals.
