B+ Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen "Some might find it consoling; others will dismiss it as clinically calculating." more... B- Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan "...a measured, decorous, at times pat film that manages to be quietly moving because it touches on something real." more... A- New York Post Lou Lumenick "Despite pitch-perfect performances, the craft of Moretti's direction and his honorable intentions, The Son's Room was not especially moving." more... B- Reelviews James Berardinelli "...honest and unsparing..." more... A- Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...a stirring, humane testament from a surprising source." more... B+ Toronto Star Peter Howell "...the emotions are genuine and heartfelt, more unspoken than shouted, displaying truth while never yielding to melodrama." more... A   TV Guide Ken Fox "...a powerful piece of dramatic filmmaking." more... B   Village Voice J. Hoberman "...as visually bland as a dentist's waiting room, complete with soothing Muzak and a cushion of predictable narrative rhythms." more... B- * Yahoo!
