Reviews
|
Film Threat -
The best fairy tales always have so much darkness in them. That's why they resonate so deeply. This is a magnificent film.
|
|
Village Voice -
A coolly balanced and utterly compelling examination of alienation and love.
|
|
Newsweek -
Let the Right One In unfolds with quiet, masterly assurance.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
A moody adaptation of the Swedish best-seller about a fateful mortal-vampire romance, Let the Right One In is atypically literate and unexpectedly affecting suspense fare. Complex characters, ominous situations fraught with mortality and the recklessness of youthful ardor create a tense and subtly shaded narrative.

|
New York Daily News -
Alfredson makes the most of every detail, carefully crafting an atmosphere of haunting alienation. These two lost souls may come together under unusual circumstances, but their connection feels universally human.
