- 90TheWrapInkoo KangTheWrapInkoo KangUnflinching yet unburdened, Miss You Already is like the best kind of hug: warm, reassuring, cathartic, and a fleeting but vital reminder that there’s at least as much good in the world as there is bad.
- 70Village VoiceAmy NicholsonVillage VoiceAmy NicholsonToni Collette rages through Catherine Hardwicke's cancer weepie Miss You Already like a fire in a chain restaurant. The film around her is good, welcoming fare, the kind that snobs always underestimate.
