- 60The TelegraphThe TelegraphIt's painfully slow at times, but the performances are decent, especially Hanks who teases the talent yet to properly shine. [08 Feb 2022, p.27]
- 50Miami HeraldHal BoedekerMiami HeraldHal BoedekerDirector Moshe Mizrahi, who did the Academy Award-winning Madame Rosa, cannot decide whether he has a light comedy or a heavy drama, and the film wavers between the two. [26 Nov 1986, p.D5]
- 50Rolling StoneDavid FearRolling StoneDavid FearWatching [Hanks] in this career footnote now is a little like seeing an unformed lump of sculptor’s clay and knowing that there’s a famous statue just a few well-placed moves away.
- Director Moshe Mizrahi (best known for his 1977 Oscar-winning feature, MADAME ROSA) fails to make much of the narrative's potentially fascinating time and place, other than throwing out a couple of token observations about British colonial rule.
- 40The New York TimesJanet MaslinThe New York TimesJanet MaslinTom Hanks is utterly out of place in the Israeli romance Every Time We Say Goodbye...for at least two reasons: because there's something so innately comic about him, even in solemn surroundings, and because he has so much more energy than the film does.
- 20Time OutTime OutHanks' aptitude for romantic comedy can do nothing for this corny World War II love story, which has a script so sugary it goes for your fillings.
