This sincere, delicate, and intrinsically religious comedy may also become that most unexpected of blessings - Danny Boyle's first family classic. - 80
L.A. Weekly
Millions is an intelligent children’s film that may prove to be a guilty pleasure for adults. - 80
The New York Times
A heartfelt, emotionally delicate children's movie about life and death and all the parts in between. - 80
Los Angeles Times
Despite being a pure fantasy that relishes not making literal sense, Millions retains a conviction about what it's doing that makes us believe and enjoy. - 75
ReelViews
It's an uplifting motion picture that will bring smiles to faces, and Boyle's trademark irreverence keeps the feel-good experience from becoming too saccharine. - 75
Christian Science Monitor
You never know what to expect from Boyle, and that goes triple in this offbeat comedy drama. It's a movie about family that family viewers will find good, quirky fun. - 70
Variety
Maintains a bankable charm and innocence even when overdrawn on the special effects side. - 70
The A.V. Club
A little broad comedy keeps things perky, but the kids' excellent, restrained acting and the low-key script by "The Claim" screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce hold the whole sprawling project together, from weepy revelations to silly fantasy-saint sequences.
