Brief Review |
| NZone |
(4 out of 5 stars) "Don't worry. When watching the thriller 'Frequency,' you won't have to know what the heck frequency means." more... |
| culturevulture.net |
"Tightly written, smartly produced, and skillfully directed and edited, 'Frequency' maintains credibility as the story moves forward with well sustained suspense...With moments of comic relief, kids, and even a dalmation pup thrown in for good measure, 'Frequency' has something for just about everybody." more... |
| E! Online |
(grade: B+) "...this is a first-rate, well-acted drama that will be worth watching again another 30 years from now." more... |

(7.5 out of 10) "Anything's possible in the movies, right? Well, that's the position 'Frequency' takes with its stretch-of-the-imagination plot line and outrageous special effects." more... |
| James Berardinelli |
(2 out of 4 stars) "The movie is the latest to deal with alternate realities and the cosmic relationship between cause and effect, and it's easily the least convincing and most muddled film of that sort to come along in recent memory." more... |
| JoBlo's Movie Emporium |
(7.5 out of 10) "Pretty gosh darn original! This film delivers on all fronts: solid acting, a well-told and surprisingly believable story despite its fantastic premise, some cool special effects, an emotional tug and plenty of thrills." more... |
| Movie Bodega |
(B+) "Think of it as 'soft-core' science fiction. Unlike their more traditional cousins, soft-core sci-fi films are metaphysical studies in real life, tweaked by just a hint of the supernatural." more... |

"If you're a hardened cynic, Gregory Hoblit's 'Frequency' will come across like a turkey shoot, ready to be picked apart, but what's necessarily wrong with combining sentiment and great performances?" more... |
| Orlando Weekly Movies: Radio Daze |
(4 out of 5 stars) "Dad was a heroic firefighter, happily married and living a sunny, blue-collar life in Queens." more... |
| PopMatters: Guys |
"The shorthand of a Mets season or nostalgic memories of riding a bike with a father who died young rings false. The makers of 'Frequency' — director Gregory Hoblit or writer Toby Emmerich — 'missed the boat' in getting to the heart of male-male, in particular father-son, relationships." more... |
| Renaissance Online Magazine: What's the Frequency, Quaideth |
(A-) "'Frequency' is the type of flick that has a great potential to be a crappy 'Star Trek: Voyager' episode." more... |
| Spliced Online: Time Bomb |
"Oooo, 'Frequency' made me mad!" more... |
| Variety |
"...an oddly schizophrenic fantasy thriller that ultimately succumbs to a fatal case of sentimentality." more... |
| Village Voice: Future Shock |
"...primed to make grown men cry, the time-travel thriller 'Frequency' comes on like a sensitive-jock older brother to the cutely paranormal alt-destiny reveries 'Sliding Doors' and 'Me Myself I.'" more... |
