The Great Gilly Hopkins passes the time in its own way-slowly, painlessly and forgettably.

The film remarkably retains the book's essence.
October 06, 2016
The Great Gilly Hopkins is a surprisingly well-written, directed and acted family film. Darn it, it's actually engaging.
October 07, 2016
The material is too slight to make much of an impact outside the target demographic.
October 09, 2016
Filled with remarkable performances, 'The Great Gilly Hopkins' pulls no punches. It is not a sickly sweet movie -- but hope and humanity shine through.
October 06, 2016
The movie feels too hokey and retrograde to appeal to its intended young audience. There's also a miscalculated racial element that may offend or confuse.
October 07, 2016
While uneven in places, "The Great Gilly Hopkins" works because it boasts an actress tough enough for the title role.
October 07, 2016
Book-based drama has strong messages on family, friendship.

If it can get someone who's so out of its core demographic a little verklempt, imagine what it can do for someone who's a target for such fare.

The problem is one of tone, as director Stephen Herek ("Mr. Holland's Opus") takes scenes that should be earnestly serious and plays them for uncomfortable laughs.

The title character is a child, but two adult actors, Kathy Bates and Glenn Close, really give "The Great Gilly Hopkins" its considerable heart.
October 10, 2016
The Great Gilly Hopkins has its enjoyable moments - Bates' entertaining, scenery-chewing turn providing many of them - and its themes are refreshingly complex for a film targeted to kids.
