Seattle Post-Intelligencer
It doesn't really come off, but it's an admirably ambitious, and mostly very engaging, coming-of-age adventure that apes the spirit of Joseph Conrad.

Philadelphia Inquirer
Whether he's smacking into an iceberg or flopping topless onto a sandy beach, DiCaprio is still maddeningly lightweight.

As a book, The Beach offers the option of diving deep. As a movie, it sticks too close to the shoreline.

Chicago Tribune
Tries to take us from heaven to hell but winds up leaving us in limbo: exasperated and dumfounded.

Chicago Sun-Times
A seriously confused film that makes three or four passes at being a better one and doesn't complete any of them.
