Rating: 6/10 --
McGregor can't quite pull off the cockishness and larger-than-life zeal of a young Swede: he seems already beaten somewhat when we meet him, meaning that his fall into ignominy is less jarring than it should be.

North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.)
There are plenty of good scenes, but ultimately American Pastoral is less than the sum of its admirable parts. The story is meant to capture an American event through one man's misadventures, but the overall effect is of a painful melodrama.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
As a first effort, McGregor's directorial debut is lacking, but perhaps he chose to bite off a huge chunk by taking on a literary masterpiece.

Proving to have a beautiful directorial eye....and chronologically efficient script by John Romano that retains the emotional and historical depth and richness of Roth's work, [Ewan] McGregor now delivers an immersive and compelling work.

Behind The Lens
AMERICAN PASTORAL, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1997 novel by Philip Roth, proves a haunting, engrossing, often eerily timely adaptation. It’s a movie that makes you think and feel -- and then think some more.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/5 --
It is, however, a heartfelt and painstaking attempt at dealing in filmic terms with the complex and ambiguous subject matter of the book.

It's honourable, it's well-intentioned, but it's lame.
