IndieWire -
It’s intermittently funny, mopey, and tense, sometimes totally off-base but certainly ambitious in its approach.

Movie Nation -
The only way to appreciate The Book of Henry is by treating it as the movie equivalent of a summer read, a beach book that tries to pack in the full breadth of human experience into a few too many pages.

The Film Stage -
Watching The Book of Henry feels like being gaslit.

The Playlist -
The entire thing feels forced and hollow, less an authentic expression of the human experience and more a gee-whiz exercise in cleverness, slathered in a healthy coat of multiplex-friendly weirdness.

The Hollywood Reporter -
The preposterousness of Gregg Hurwitz's screenplay isn't enough to throw star Naomi Watts off her game, and the actor's sincere performance may suffice to keep a segment of the family-film demographic on board, barely.
