"Kevin Dillon"
Kieran Culkin at the premiere of The Mighty
"Culkin has the showier role but does nothing to overtly invoke sympathy
for the boy's physical condition. It's a surprisingly modulated performance
for someone his age."
— Leonard Klady, Daily Variety
"An engaging, sure-handed performance.
Kevin is the film's can't miss role."
— Jack Mathews, Newsday
"Culkin is a wonderful surprise."
— Paul Tatara, CNN Showbiz
"Kieran Culkin finds the fine line between intelligent and obnoxious
to make Kevin an appealing protagonist."
— Scott Renshaw, Internet critic
"Culkin is first-rate. As appealing as elder brother Macaulay and a better actor."
— Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle
"Culkin brings great sensitivity to the difficult task of playing
someone with a physical disability."
— Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
"The young actor maintains a psychologically sound balance of self-delusion
informed by just the right subtle strain of desperation."
— Bob Strauss, L.A. Daily News
"Even when he is at his most precocious it's clear he's very talented."
— Elizabeth Weitzman, Film.com
