Reviews


90
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
Nonetheless, Marvin's Room is not only sharply written and well-acted, but it's also the rare sort of film that takes an honest and uncompromising look at death and dying.
88
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The famous faces make it difficult, at first, to sink into the story, but eventually we do; the characters become so convincing that even if we're aware of Keaton and Streep, it's as if these events are happening to them.
88
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Yet, even on those occasions when the screenplay falters, the actors are there to take up the slack.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - Edward Guthmann
Any movie with Meryl Streep is an occasion, but when you add Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hume Cronyn and Gwen Verdon, you've got an embarrassment of riches.
75
San Francisco Examiner - Barbara Shulgasser
Add to that a perfect cast and one's only complaint will be that this is, at heart, another tear-jerker about how good it is to love and be alive and all of that.
