Reviews


75
Observer - Rex Reed
It’s a long haul, but Please Stand By, meticulously directed by Ben Lewin (The Sessions), chronicles the pitfalls, terrors and triumphs of the trip with heart-wrenching realism.
70
Time - Stephanie Zacharek
[Fanning] plays Wendy as a person and not a condition.
70
Slate - Unnamed
It’s a relief to see an autistic woman played as more than simply a bundle of symptoms.
50
Slant Magazine - Keith Watson
Dakota Fanning's Wendy is less a truly thought-through character than a compendium of quirks.
50
The A.V. Club - Mike D'Angelo
It’s hard to be persuasive, though, when your protagonist comes across as a collection of quirky tics rather than a credible human being.
