"Despite its laudable intentions, Waiting for Anya proves less impactful than it should be."
Hollywood Reporter"As harrowing as Jo's ordeal may be, the movie doesn't fail to provide the obligatory uplift."
The New York Times"Means well, but its insipid approach to history makes watching it feel like a homework assignment."
Los Angeles Times"It remains overly didactic."
RogerEbert.com"It's the kind of film that's good news for anyone with a book report due on the source, but can't be recommended under any other circumstances."
Daily Telegraph"The film is gorgeous to look at, all alpine meadow flowers and glorious green mountains. But the drama loses momentum pretty early on."
The Guardian"Budget limitations, tonal inconsistencies and several creaky supporting performances are just some of the elements that scupper this worthy if ultimately inept Michael Morpurgo adaptation."
