New York Times
Stephen Holden
"For most of its 85 minutes Grace Is Gone, a small, tender film about contemporary parenthood in wartime, carries off a delicate balancing act." more... B  
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"One can argue that the premise is not a can't miss proposition, but with Cusack in the camera's crosshairs, the situation's poignancy seems genuine rather than exploitative." more... B  
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
"No politics, no pleading. No artifice." more... B  
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
"It's somber, teary and good in its way, though it seems more of a vignette than an evolving three-act drama." more... B-
