Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more
Janet Maslin, New York Times: Powerhouse casting and a heartbreaking history make the screen version of Marvin's Room more memorable than it otherwise would be. Read more

Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Marvin's Room seems to exist primarily to road-test every one of your emotions. Read more
