The Hollywood Reporter

Thankfully devoid of the fantasy elements endemic to so many cinematic versions of YA novels, Kepler's Dream proves a modest but diverting family film charmer.

Variety

There's plenty of intrigue on the New Mexico ranch our heroine is shunted off to in "Kepler's Dream," but little suspense is wrung from it in this tepid family drama adapted from a well-reviewed YA novel by Juliet Bell.

Los Angeles Times

This family-friendly drama may be inspired by a 17th-century book of the same name by the visionary astronomer, but the movie "Kepler's Dream" lacks imagination.

Shadows on the Wall

As the story progresses, the dramatic elements become quietly gripping, even with the absence of suspense or genuine surprises

Rated: 3/5

One Guy's Opinion

An innocuous if rather bland family movie that should appeal especially to teenage girls [but] it would be more at home on the Hallmark Channel than at a multiplex.

Rated: C
