Critic reviews
Despite the copious servings of tragic threats and good feelings, the production sinks under the weight of its emotional calculation. Full review
Richard Brody·The New Yorker
By any measure a rousing, even restorative seventh chapter in the immortal space-opera saga established and now relinquished by George Lucas. Full review
Justin Chang·Variety
The big news about “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is — spoiler alert — that it’s good! Full review
Manohla Dargis·New York Times
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, J. J. Abrams’s long-awaited reboot of the franchise, is in many ways less sequel than remix, a loving mashup of familiar scenes, characters, themes, and dialogue. Full review
