Review of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) by Moira Macdonald for The Seattle Times — 09 Nov 2011
Yes, the film does strum the heartstrings a bit too emphatically toward the end, by cranking up Williams' music and giving us perhaps one tear too many, but that's a minor quibble. When Elliott and his friends soar on their bicycles, like flying Peter Pans who must soon grow up, it's as touching and note-perfect a moment as any in the movies.
