Reviews

Village Voice -
Tender, humane, and searing, How I Live Now stands as something all too rare: a movie about young people that young people may love — but not one that lies to them, and not one built for them alone.

The Playlist -
Macdonald’s unique direction and Ronan’s jittery performance makes the film a worthy watch
|
|
Variety -
Wisely sticks to its protagonist’s p.o.v. while avoiding a longer view of the calamitous events around her, making up in emotional immediacy what it lacks in broad dramatic sweep.

|
The Guardian -
A gooey love story is pitted against the end of the world. No wonder the romance comes up wanting.
|
|
Empire -
Macdonald's film is a noble stab at bringing Meg Rosoff's YA novel to the screen, which sees Ronan in typically watchable form.
