The intentions here are noble, but the execution is too obvious and strained to make much of a lasting impact. Apr 25, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

In Disney's hands, "William" eschews freak show theatrics for something much weightier. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review…

William simply devolves into a drab, moody morality tale for parents about not treating your kids like test subjects. Apr 12, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Tim Disney's film strikes a bland compromise between science-fantasy, suspense-melodrama and family entertainment, developing no element to a level that generates more than mild interest. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review…

There is more sweetness and humanity in William than in most of the time-wasters I've seen recently. Apr 11, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Deadly earnest in its highbrow seriousness, William would seem ripe for parody, except that Encino Man got there first. Apr 11, 2019 | Full Review…

Plays with its let's-clone-a-Neanderthal plot like it has no idea of the horrors involved and no appreciation of the ethical questions it raises. (Paging Ian Malcolm!) A tremendous missed opportunity. Apr 25, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

William quite admirably stands out like a sore thumb - or, more appropriately, like an unusually large, sloping forehead. Apr 12, 2019 | Rating: 7.5/10 | Full Review…

With hopes held high, I truly wanted to enjoy William as a high concept drama. But no, try as I might, I never connected with this film. Apr 11, 2019 | Full Review…

Thoughtful, smart sci-fi melodrama about cloning a Neanderthal. It lacks the dramatic fireworks to be of more consequence. Apr 10, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…
