Aside from a few mawkish missteps near the tail end, this film feels like the product of a confident, able and self-aware director. Dec 7, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

But the movie shouldn't be dismissed as just another real-life drama to catch on cable TV someday; Stronger is a profound, sensitively made gem. Oct 13, 2017 | Full Review…

The boldest thing Stronger does is trust enough in Maslany's performance and in the writing of her character to allow Erin to do something that a lesser movie would never even attempt. Sep 28, 2017 | Full Review…

"Stronger" always feels right in the moment, solidified by an outstanding central performance by Gyllenhaal, and some wonderful ensemble work, especially the actors just below the top billing. Sep 27, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's filmmaking at its finest. [David Gordon] Green takes a seemingly uncinematic story and turns it into a poetic film that begs to be watched. Aug 5, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

There are actors and then there are stars, and in Stronger, Gyllenhaal shows why he falls into the latter category. Jul 28, 2019 | Full Review…

Stronger never really grabs the audience emotionally, and later in the film, falls into a hurried, perfunctory redemption arc and its happy ending. Apr 26, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Bland and irrelevant, Stronger does a good job when portraying people from Boston but wards off the power of its story. [Full review in Spanish]. Jan 15, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…
