STUDIO MAGAZINE
"There's even a Mary Poppins type, a marvelous Clara Bellar as a machine who truly loves the little lad and who smiles at him as acid is poured over her."
CRITIC'S PICK "A work of brilliant artifice and profound intelligence. Mr. Spielberg accomplishes the improbable feat of melding Kubrick's chilly, analytical style with his own warmer, needier sensibility, and the result is an exquisitely layered, complex movie - the riskiest, most ambiguous, most intellectually challenging fairy tale the director has made to date."
"All this is heady, enormously stimulating stuff, the sort of thing one is no longer accustomed to confronting in mainstream Hollywood entertainment. What a general audience will confront is an unusually ambitious sci-fi film that touches upon such matters as what it means to be a human being, the definition of family and the notion of creation both in scientific and religious terms. Viewers gagging on the glut of cinematic junk food should welcome this brilliantly made visionary work bursting with provocative ideas."
