Critics Consensus

Bridge to Terabithia is a faithful adaptation of a beloved children's novel and a powerful portrayal of love, loss, and imagination through children's eyes.

David Stratton

At the Movies (Australia)

The characters, especially those of the two ten-year-old protagonists, ring true and when, just past the midway point, tragedy strikes it's quite devastating.

Rated: 3.5/5

Joe Morgenstern

Wall Street Journal

This screen adaptation of Katherine Paterson's now-classic novel for young readers tells its story with agreeable simplicity in between computer-generated monsters.

Michael Clark

Epoch Times

An enchanting, suspenseful, masterful work which digs far deeper than most films of this genre before or since. It took chances where none were needed and all of these gambles paid off in spades. Watching it will make you a better human being.

Rated: 4.5/5

Stuff.co.nz

It can be over-sentimental and saccharine in moments, but it's also a kids' film, so why shouldn't it be?

Gone With The Twins

Manages that rare feat of being both a faithful adaptation and appealing on an independent basis.

Everything is perfect in it, but i hate miss edmunds for distracting Jess, if she didn't invite Jess to some art museum, such friendship would never die 😭. But Leslie and Jess, they were real friends, Leslie came to Jess's life when he was depressed in home and at school, no luck in finding friends. Yeah Jess met her when he wasn't looking for her, but he lost her when he loved her the most. She was real queen of Terabithia, and no one can even be worthy to be queen of this place, literally she created Terabithia with Jess, even Jess said ,, keep your head out of clouds ( his dad said him) ". But she didn't give up, she was real one, if i am to suggest, get a girl like her in your life

My mother cried until the end, even my sister, and my father. I liked the ending and Avery the bully. I am the sole survivor who did not cry in this family. Hallelujha

I honestly loved this movie the second I saw the opening as it shows a great, but not perfect representation of how kids' brains and imaginations work(while also giving the kids a bit of schizophrenia, but nonetheless) while also illustrating the harsh reality of mortality in a very shocking manner, and if I were a lesser man, i would have cried during that ending. I genuinely love and adore this movie and will definitely be showing this to my hypothetical children one day.
