Observer
It’s a feel-good film with an infectious sense of fun and inspiration that brings out the best in people instead of catering to their lowest instincts. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
This story truly is inspirational and a lesson about civic responsibility. However, it makes for little more than a TV movie or a straight-to-video snack. - 40
New York Daily News
Duchovny tamps down his sardonic style to play a quiet guy, but the result is blandness. Timothy Hutton gives a solid turn as a standup businessman. In all, director Anthony Fabian isn’t sure how to build a nontreacly movie out of an inspiring true-life story. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Unfortunately director Anthony Fabian prefers to dole out emotion in short bursts of superficial montage rather than fully dramatic scene work in which characters deepen through extended interaction. That leaves Louder Than Words feeling diffuse, choppy and cold rather than illuminative about how broken families heal after terrible loss. - 38
RogerEbert.com
What is harder to achieve than building a hospital? Producing a realistic movie about coping with grief by helping others – at least for the filmmakers behind Louder Than Words. - 30
Village Voice
Louder Than Words obviously means well, but its brand of cheap uplift is the kind of cheese that actually breeds cynicism. - 30
The New York Times
There’s a way to tell this story that wouldn’t come across as soggy or manipulative. However well intentioned, Louder Than Words doesn’t find that tone. - 25
Slant Magazine
Never once does it project an intuitive understanding of how humans would behave or react in the midst of such a shattering misfortune.
