Critic Reviews
-
Rob Nelson, Variety
A literary film that stands to work best for those who don't read.
-
Ray Greene, Boxoffice Magazine
A movie for people who buy their novels at Starbucks, made by people who write their novels at Starbucks.
-
Edward Douglas, ComingSoon.net
A strong drama that may seem simple at first, but it's likely to leave you wondering whether what you watched was real or whether the various stories were all just layers of fiction.
-
Todd Gilchrist, The Playlist
The Words fails to surpass dramatically the bland lack of specificity in its title while still offering a solid roundup of performances from its talented ensemble cast.
