“Steven Spielberg’s E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial envelops you in the way that his Close Encounters of the Third Kind did. It’s a dream of a movie — a bliss-out.” — Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
“The marvel of this extraordinary movie is that it captures for even the most jaded grownup that pleasurable state of innocence and awe that only children are fortunate enough to experience.” — Kathleen Carroll, The New York Daily News
