The New York Observer
One of the year’s best pictures. It leaves you charged and cheering. Cleverly written, designed, and constructed.
Entertainment Weekly
Grade A. Funny, smart, and sexy. Irresistible. This pitch perfect movie charms audiences into a state of enlightenment. Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo at the top of their games.
The New York Times
Outrageously funny. The best comedy about an American family since ...Since what? Precedents and grounds for comparison seem to be lacking, so I may have to let the superlative stand unqualified for now. So canny in its insights and so agile in its negotiation of complex emotions that it deserves to stand on its own. The performances are all close to perfect.
The Seattle Times
★★★★. Wonderful. The acting in this film is so good, across the board, that it doesn't feel like acting.
Boston Herald
Grade: A. A remarkable cast. Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo exude high-voltage chemistry. Julianne Moore is transcendent. She and Bening may be the year’s smartest and funniest screen couple.
San Francisco Chronicle
Revelatory!
USA Today
Highly entertaining. Everything about this film rings true. This gem features five topnotch, multidimensional performances in one of this summer's most engaging films. Annette Bening gives an Oscar-caliber performance. Julianne Moore is excellent. Mark Ruffalo shows his depth in a pitch-perfect performance.
Los Angeles Times
Funny, smart and overflowing with love. Thoroughly entertaining. Between peerless performances, lyrical direction and an adventurous script, this is the sort of pleasingly grown-up fare all too rare.
New York Magazine
So rich, so hilarious. Writer/Director Lisa Cholodenko is a true comic dramatist. She bombards us with every weapon in her arsenal.

A generous and hilarious comedy. It's so real, so sexy, so honest and so truly funny. Watching two of our finest actresses is a rare privilege. ‘The Kids Are All Right’ ranks with the most compelling portraits of an American marriage in film history.”
Cinemablend
The first great relationship comedy of the decade! Sure-handed, warm, funny, and intelligent entertainment. No serious movie fan in their right mind would pass up the opportunity to see Annette Bening and Julianne Moore. They are both exactly as great as we've come to expect them to be.
