...more effective than the horror elements of Argentine director Andy Muschietti’s adaptation is the unexpected humor he reveals in the story—and, ultimately, the humanity.

...Pennywise the Dancing Clown (...) is as joltingly nightmarish as fans could have hoped for.

Credit must go to the young cast, among whom there is no single weak link; it’s as authentic a portrayal of children staring down the barrel of adolescence as you’re ever likely to see.

...Muschietti’s tangible affection for the misfit schoolkids at the centre of this story draws us into their world, lending engaging weight to their (pre)adolescent trials and tribulations.

I den nye udgave leverer Bill Skarsgård den definitive film-udgave af væsnet. Hans præstation er simpelthen mageløst uhyggelig, og han har stor succes med at antyde det uforståelige væsen, der gemmer sig bag klovnesminken.

...som genrefan har jeg sjældent haft mindre lyst til at gå alene ud på biografens toiletter som umiddelbart efter pressevisningen af ’It’.
