There is much to savor here, especially the unforced performance of Judah Lewis -- one more recruit to the terrific roster of younger actors who are streaming into the movies. Yet the film lacks the courage of its affliction.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Rotten
Thank god for Jake Gyllenhaal. Absent his performance, Demolition would have been a more unbearable slog than it is.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Director Jean-Marc Vallee doesn't seem to mind when his movies become sun-dappled insta-redemption stories so long as there's a bravura central turn holding it all down.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out
Rotten
The best I can say is that it's another tour de force for Gyllenhaal, although his intensity isn't matched by the movie itself.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
