The movie is a very sincere and good-hearted adaptation, but it loses focus by trying to include too many elements of the real-life story. Read full review

Levi plays Scott as somewhat smarmy and disingenuous — it’s hard to feel for this guy when he seems absolutely clueless about his own kids. Fahy carries the film in her supporting role, an acting imbalance that seems weirdly apt for this story: the supportive, capable wife sidelined in favor of showcasing the inept husband getting himself together and presenting it as meaningful or poignant.

The Unbreakable Boy will satisfy the terminally vanilla moviegoers, but the rest will see right through its game. Read full review

IndieWire David Ehrlich

The strength this film exists to celebrate is directly contradicted by the weaknesses of its storytelling. Read full review

Collider Jeff Ewing

It's a film that largely rests on an edifice of clichés, contrivances, and ungrounded choices, needing greater development to actually land. Read full review
