Critic Reviews of "Marvin's Room"
Chicago ReaderFebruary 08, 2010The performances are overwhelmed by cinematography so gorgeous and distracting it makes the drama seem like just so much wheel spinning.
Washington PostFebruary 08, 2010It's all plinky-plink pianos and mewing oboes, trying to jerk those tears a little too hard. No, a lot too hard. The music is awful. Stupendously bad.
VarietyDecember 26, 2006Based on a play by Scott McPherson's who died of AIDS, it's impossible to watch the well-acted film (particularly Diane Keaton, who should get an Oscar nod) without thinking of its themees: the various approaches to love and the strength of family bonds
Time OutJune 24, 2006Streep gives her most credible blue-collar performance to date; Keaton sidesteps saintliness to mix vulnerability and small heroics.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Powerhouse casting and a heartbreaking history make the screen version of Marvin's Room more memorable than it otherwise would be.
San Francisco ChronicleJune 18, 2002Any movie with Meryl Streep is an occasion, but when you add Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hume Cronyn and Gwen Verdon, you've got an embarrassment of riches.
Film Geek CentralMay 02, 2013Great work from Dicaprio, De Niro, and especially Streep certainly make the film watchable, but it still can't save it from feeling like a TV movie of the week. If you're a fan of melodrama... and over 60, then you'll find much to like.
TV GuideFebruary 08, 2010Keaton is given a rare opportunity here to remind us that she's not simply a fine comedienne, and she's marvelous.
Reeling ReviewsApril 09, 2005Its an actor's/writer's movie, but, oh, what acting and writing
Kansas City KansanOctober 23, 2004Slow, depressing family drama finely acted
Spirituality and PracticeJuly 12, 2003Zany and emotionally-affecting story about death, aging parents, reconciliation, and the healing power of selfless love.
