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.
May 02, 2013
Great work from Dicaprio, De Niro, and especially Streep certainly make the film watchable, but it still can't save it from feeling like a TV movie of the week. If you're a fan of melodrama... and over 60, then you'll find much to like.
July 12, 2003
Zany and emotionally-affecting story about death, aging parents, reconciliation, and the healing power of selfless love.
February 08, 2010
At times attractive, at other times dull.
February 08, 2010
Keaton is given a rare opportunity here to remind us that she's not simply a fine comedienne, and she's marvelous.
New York Times

Powerhouse casting and a heartbreaking history make the screen version of Marvin's Room more memorable than it otherwise would be.
February 08, 2010
It's all plinky-plink pianos and mewing oboes, trying to jerk those tears a little too hard. No, a lot too hard. The music is awful. Stupendously bad.
April 09, 2005
Its an actor's/writer's movie, but, oh, what acting and writing
Variety
December 26, 2006
Based on a play by Scott McPherson's who died of AIDS, it's impossible to watch the well-acted film (particularly Diane Keaton, who should get an Oscar nod) without thinking of its themees: the various approaches to love and the strength of family bonds

Slow, depressing family drama finely acted
June 24, 2006
Streep gives her most credible blue-collar performance to date; Keaton sidesteps saintliness to mix vulnerability and small heroics.
February 08, 2010
The performances are overwhelmed by cinematography so gorgeous and distracting it makes the drama seem like just so much wheel spinning.
