Entertainment Weekly -
For one of those obstreperously original books that are themselves impossible to translate, Everything Is Illuminated is impressively well lit.

|
Premiere -
I have misgivings about Schreiber's use of the well-worn "I'll make you empathize with these Others, but first let's have laughs at their expense" approach, but eventually I was won over by his humane, moving road trip.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Leave it to Liev: Schreiber capably adds writer-director to his impressive resume with this winning take on the Jonathan Safran Foer novel.

Variety -
Wood's powerlessness to break out of the emotive straightjacket hands the picture to his Russian costars on a platter, and they run with it.

Wall Street Journal -
Not everything is illuminated in his (Liev Schreiber) version, but the book's humanity and humor shine through.
