4 stars out of 5 -- [A]n emotionally intense, riveting and overwhelmingly powerful look at a man and his young son traveling a long road while trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
Box Office
[D]irector John Hillcoat and cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe supply some arresting images of an earth that's literally dying, shrouded in ash and littered with the artifacts of an unthinkable human tragedy.
A.V. Club
5 stars out of 5 -- The performances by Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee are acutely credible, with the boy avoiding all the pitfalls of child actors.
Uncut
I cannot say how faithful this is but, having read other McCarthy books, would say the novel probably repaid your attention with its astonishing prose. This, though, puts you through the wringer, but doesn't repay you in any way.

The Spectator
A remarkable, haunting picture worth multiple viewings.

Film Comment Magazine
The theme of unswerving love is strong. The spectacle of a blasted planed holds a fateful attraction.
Wall Street Journal
[S]pookily convincing...Viggo Mortensen, as a man wandering the wasteland with his young son, has a tremulous woundedness.
