...we can forgive Spielberg his indulgences when the outcome is so profoundly moving.

Brilliant, disturbing storytelling by Spielberg with standout performances.
January 23, 2003
It is unquestionably overwrought, but it is a truly lovely film with a lot of emotion in it. The meaning of all that emotion is unfortunately still up for grabs.
June 23, 2003
A far better film than is usually thought.
January 01, 2000
It is a great, warm, hard, unforgiving, triumphant movie, and there is not a scene that does not shine with the love of the people who made it.

Inspiring, sentimental tale of survival.

Overrated, but still a good film.
