Media Reviews
Praise for the film Twilight:
Epic! Sexy, stylish and altogether the coolest movie of the year
- Shawn Edwards, Fox TV
. . . getting Catherine Hardwicke to direct Twilight was a shrewd move, because the youthquake specialists of Thirteen treats teen confusion without a trace of condensation. . . .She has reconjured Meyer's novel as a cloudburst mood piece filled with stormy skies, rippling hormones, and understated visual effects.
- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Hardwicke has connected so intensely to the Meyer novel that it's hard to imagine anyone else making a better version.
