Reviews for Radio Flyer
Top CriticIt's not a total loss, but the voice-over is infuriatingly overdone, as if the film-makers didn't trust the visuals, the kids are resistible and the tone's discomfortingly cute.

Top CriticOne of the most touching films ever made. A must-see

A film one would like to like more.
