Critic Reviews of "This Boy's Life"
TIME MagazineFebruary 08, 2010Something more subtle is going on in Wolff's book, a confrontation with a richer, quirkier past and his emerging self that the movie too often brushes aside.
Chicago ReaderFebruary 08, 2010The leads work overtime to make their characters and their relationships pungent, believable, and moving.
VarietyJune 03, 2008Nicely acted but excessively bland.
Time OutJune 24, 2006It's a rites-of-passage drama with the kind of period small-town setting that the director is making his own.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003This Boy's Life is so steeped in period detail (music, cars, television shows, hair styles) that Toby and Caroline's sad, bumbling search for freedom seems secondary, almost impolite to the decor.
Rolling StoneMay 12, 2001An indisputably great actor is inching toward the black hole of self-parody.
Suite101.comMay 05, 2013The film demands ominous electricity between Dwight and Toby, the latter of whom endures various and sundry humiliation and harm at the former's hands. And there are times when DiCaprio doesn't just go toe-to-toe with De Niro but feels just as tall.
Film4February 08, 2010De Niro and Birkin are reliable in this atmospheric drama, but it's DiCaprio who really shines.
Empire MagazineFebruary 08, 2010A young DiCaprio steals the show in this tale of learning how to be a man, with a sly De Niro also giving a good performance, but with a plot that drags on too long.
EmanuelLevy.ComDecember 31, 2006A powerful if familiar family melodrama with a bravura performance from newcomer Leonardo DiCaprio, who's bound to become a major actor in the future.
Movie MetropolisJune 21, 2005Well acted, but bleak and slow-moving.
