Ben Is Back - Reviews

...the ever-excellent Roberts and Hedges keep it a largely compelling watch.

Roberts is convincing as a parent torn between wanting to trust her son and needing to take responsibility.

...the film belongs to Roberts and Hedges, whose on-screen bond is both remarkable and heartbreaking.

Ben Is Back takes good care of parents and children, offering a sensitive and panoramic understanding of how deep love runs, and to what extremes it can take you.

...lysande skådespel.

Julia Roberts spiller sin bedste rolle i årevis som insisterende løvemor, der taler optimistisk om sin søns åbenlyse bedring, mens hun gemmer medicin og smykker af vejen, syg af bekymring.

...ett starkt missbruksdrama...

Spännande, starkt och ångestladdat med utmärkta Julia Roberts och Lucas Hedges.

Der er fine skuespilpræstationer hele vejen rundt. Stjerneskuddet Lucas Hedges (...) er overbevisende som den forpinte dreng med stor skyldfølelse.

Julia Roberts lysande...

Julia Roberts visar att hon fortfarande pricksäkert kan välja ut en roll som berör oss, och imponera med sin fina skådespelarprestation.
