Pauline Kael

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.

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is a spellbinding foray that reminds us of human compassion and the eternal joy of cinema.

Steven Spielberg has given audiences dozens of great films over the years, but no movie has captured childlike wonder quite like E.T.

... while far tamer in its final presentation, "E.T." is a scary film and would’ve likely made for a terrifying time, though I do think, all things being equal, that history is better for what we’re given versus what could have been.

Spielberg has made a handful of films I would rate higher than E.T., but in terms of emotional investment for the whole family, this one is peerless in his canon, evoking laughter, tears, and everything in between.
