The critical consensus

Touching and well-acted, Brazil's Best Foreign Film entry is a worthy Oscar candidate.

****(*)Liz Beardsworth, Empire Online, 20/10/2014

A sincere, well-intentioned drama, The Way He Looks may be a little too determined to ensure that everything turns out for the best.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, The List, 20/10/2014

With the characters rarely verbalising their attraction, Ribeiro impresses by conveying Leonardo’s awakening through elegant long takes and the actors’ endearing chemistry.

****(*)Simon Kinnear, Total Film, 20/10/2014

Ace performances and positive messages about disability and teen sexuality impress – even if everyone’s too nice to be true.

***(*)(*)Leslie Felperin, The Guardian, 23/10/2014

Daniel Ribeiro has played his blind gay hero's story as safely as possible.

***(*)(*)Sophie Monks Kaufman, Little White Lies, 23/10/2014

Unremarkable but engaging coming-of-age drama.
