Newsweek
Thanks to everyone involved, the movie radiates a hundred pleasures. - 88
Chicago Sun-Times
Unstrung Heroes has been directed by Diane Keaton with an unusual combination of sentiment and quirky eccentricity. - 88
Rolling Stone
Keaton has crafted something rare: a screwball comedy that cuts to the heart. - 75
ReelViews
There's nothing especially original about Unstrung Heroes, but the story is told with intelligence and sensitivity. - 67
Austin Chronicle
Eccentricities, though they are essential to the story, nevertheless come across as too pat and planned in Unstrung Heroes. Despite my inability to dismiss the film's uncomfortable flaws, these were not so distracting that I had anything other than an enjoyable experience while watching the movie and was awash in a small puddle of tears at the end. - 60
Empire
Keaton handles her appealing ensemble, the early 60s period and child's perspective of tragedy, love and reconciliation with a sure, gentle hand. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
Trying for a dark-toned comedy of familial mishap, Keaton dips into the sentimental fraudulence. - 50
Chicago Reader
Thanks to the performers (including Andie MacDowell and John Turturro), this has a certain amount of charm and warmth, but the period ambience feels both remote and uncertain.
