- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreFor an emotionally-grounded disaster movie, I found it a harrowing recreation of the real thing, emotionally affecting and not bad. Not bad at all.
- The film’s heart may be in the right place, but a melodramatic score, pastoral cinematography and deeply sentimental character arcs make for an altogether mediocre drama, not an urgent thriller.
- 40The GuardianLeslie FelperinThe GuardianLeslie FelperinThe production values are a bit too pedestrian to elevate this much above the ordinary.
- 33The Film StageJared MobarakThe Film StageJared MobarakGossling populates this little town with so many horrible people that you assume the tornadoes are coming to purge them from society. It’s therefore somewhat jarring when she lets impending tragedy provide them redemption instead.
