Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
I think it's just kind of average but Rosario Dawson is great and worthy of some type of recognition throughout this award show season.
That big twist at the end... if you go back and analyze it -- I'm not sure it holds up, but I don't think it really matters all that much.
As high concepts go, Seven Pounds is distasteful in the extreme.
It's a lovely performance [by Dawson], in part because her character throws every charm she's got at the one man who seems doomed to deflect it.
