The Book of Henry's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
It?s not entirely clear whether you should be laughing, crying, or waving a white flag.
New York Times
A weepie, a thriller, a tragedy, a sub-Spielbergian pastiche, 'The Book of Henry' is mostly a tedious mess.
Indiewire
And then, quite suddenly, the sentimentalism gives way to Hitchcockian suspense, and the most ludicrous conceit of any American movie this year.
The Wrap
The really sad thing is that this is a movie with some intriguing characters that has some real comic and dramatic potential, but all this gets lost in increasingly silly plot mechanics.
The Hollywood Reporter
Complain all you want about Colin Trevorrow's 'The Book of Henry' ? one thing you can't say is that it's not enough movie.
The Guardian
And Watts, whose talent is unquestionable, is once again cast as the bog-standard female lead: a performance without flavour, without presence, without style.
