Affleck has always been a wonderfully understated performer and he has taken that minimalist approach with him behind the camera.
80
A superb performance by Affleck, who constructs a touching and believable rapport with his 11 year-old co-star, grounds his low-key directorial and feature-writing debut.
80
Affleck carries a great deal of weight in the movie, but its Pniowsky who shines as the young pre-teen learning quickly what it means to be an adult.
75
Light of My Life delivers a lush variation on familiar elements, and wends its way to a tense final showdown that makes the wandering trajectory worthwhile.
75
Light of my Life is not a bad film, instead it’s a heartfelt, intelligent and earnest one (if a little tidy).
