Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Bardem is brilliant.
90
What makes The Sea Inside such a riveting drama is that none of these relationships is sufficient to make Ramón want to go on living.
88
ReelViews by James Berardinelli
The Sea Inside is uplifting. This is a movie that may cause viewers to both laugh and cry.
100
A dramatic triumph.
70
Village Voice by Laura Sinagra
Unfortunately, Bardem is confined by more than Ramón's paralysis. He also must work within the limits of a partially numbed script.
40
Washington Post by Michael O'Sullivan
I remained strangely dry-eyed up to the final shot.
75
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
Wrings honest emotion and riveting dramatics from its tale.
50
When pinned mostly in the man's bedroom, Amenábar's flashier instincts are stifled by a bolted camera and a procession of issue-of-the-week clichés.
