"Charlie Cox gives possibly his best performances to date as a man struggling to move on with his life, and Anthony Hopkins delivers a great performance as Cox's father, who gives his son a second chance." - Michael Wilmington, Rolling Stone
"Sure, there's a positive message here, but it all feels very redundant. Sophia Bush's performance lacks depth other than appearing as a pretty face on-screen." - Mark Plainsview, ReelViews
"Lynne Ramsay surprises the audience by making a film that is ultimately uplifting, which goes against her usual style. She manages to elevate the cast and the script into a rather solid film." - Manny Duncan, San Antonio Express-News
