Chicago Sun-Times
About half the scenes in Our Souls at Night consist of Jane Fonda and Robert Redford simply talking to one another. Those scenes are more exhilarating, more intoxicating and more memorable than many if not most gigantic action sequences in big-budget movies. - 80
The Guardian
Our Souls at Night is your classic Hollywood weepie, so immaculately played that it confounds crass preconceptions. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
Both Redford and Fonda are charming, delicate and convincing as Addie Moore and Louis Waters, the couple who find each other at the tail end of their lives. They are directed with sophistication and without a drop of melodrama or sentimentality by Ritesh Batra - 80
Los Angeles Times
Made with care and conviction as it explores this unexpected relationship, "Our Souls at Night" understands both what changes in people as they age and what remains the same. It covers quite a bit of emotional territory, and it covers it well. - 70
TheWrap
There’s nothing particularly world-shaking about Our Souls at Night, but it’s a nice movie about nice people finding love. - 70
Screen Daily
There’s an air of well-oiled, made-for-TV efficiency about the exercise that extends from Lunchbox director Ritesh Batra’s safe hand on the tiller to Stephen Goldblatt’s golden-light photography. - 70
Variety
It’s hard to deny that the small screen may be the most natural fit for Batra’s film, given its pleasantly mollified storytelling and blandly unassuming visual style. - 67
IndieWire
The ending may be strained, but it works its way to just the right sentiment.
