SIGNS, 2002 Thanks Holli for donating some reviews!

"And the two children, Rory Culkin and Abigail Breslin, are phenominal. M. Night is certainly following in the footsteps of Steven Spielberg as someone who can get a great performance out of a child actor."

"After the performances of Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense and Spencer Treat Clark in Unbreakable, it’s not surprising that Shyamalan again gets great performances from his child actors, with both Culkin and Breslin delivering assured, mature performances – Breslin’s scenes with her various glasses of water are among the film’s more memorable moments."
- Matthew Turner : The London Review

"All of the characters are developed inside and out, even the children, who usually are in suspense movies to either be cute or be scared, something also Breslin and Culkin also pull of nicely."

"Rory Culkin and Abigail Breslin are very convincing as the children, Morgan and Bo Hess."

"This adorable Abigail Breslin who plays young Bo Hess, looks like a little cherub left behind by the angels….geeze of you could be guaranteed one of those one may actually think about breeding…..NAH!"

"M. Night Shyamalan has a way of dong movies with freaky lil kids in them. This movie was awesome though. I normally don't jump during suspense movies and this one made me jump several times. The little girl who played Mel Gibson's daughter was adorable & very good."

"The acting by Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, Rory Culkin and Abigail Breslin was really good."

"And once again, Shyamalan gets unbelievably powerful performances from his child actors. Rory Culkin, the youngest of the famed Culkin acting brood, has the sad-eyed face of his older brothers and the talent to match them. He and little Breslin, as Bo, are eerily good and fortunately get to be more like kids without the weight of the world on their shoulders as poor Haley Joel Osment had in Sixth Sense."

"Abigail Breslin (Bo) has to be the cutest little girl in the world, she actually made me think about having kids one day and that is a feat in itself."

"On the other hand, the kids - young Abigail Breslin and Rory Culkin (the latest of the Culkin brood) - give nicely modulated turns."

"Rory Culkin and Abigail Breslin are very good as the two children, effectively alternating between wide-eyed questioning and charm and total fear."

"A special note must go to the two child actors. They do an absolutely terrific job!!! I loathe it when kids act poorly in a film... no one can ruin a film faster than they can, but they also do not get enough credit when they give stellar performances like they do here. Abigail Breslin is especially noteworthy... she is heartwarming and funny and loveable and powerfully expressive in ways reminiscent of Victoire Thisivol's standout effort in the 1996 film Ponette. You wouldn't think a person so young could deliver such depth... but I think she is terrific here."

"Shyamalan has a gift for procuring complex performances from his child actors. Culkin exhibits many of the introspective and self-possessed qualities Haley Joel Osment showed in The Sixth Sense and Abigail Breslin displays an ethereal quality as Bo, whose fastidious obsession with clean water is one of many elements in Signs that yields both humour and unease."
- Tiscali Film & TV Reviews

"Conversely, Shyamalan’s has a habit of coaxing memorably sardonic performances from children: The Sixth Sense introduced Haley Joel Osment to the world. Signs is no exception, and Culkin, aping Osment to a tee with his preternatural stillness and poignant little voice, and Breslin, reminiscent of Drew Barrymore in E.T, hog the screen."

The real surprise came from the talented little girl who played the part of Bo, Abigail Breslin. All of her lines were superbly executed and spoken with the perfect degree of how do I say...cuteness. She is absolutely adorable on screen and a joy to watch. You can be looking out for her in the sometime near future.

"When the clan is exiting the family car, and Morgan screams "Stop," little sister Abigail Breslin's startled take is impressively realistic."

"People will find it hard not to crack a smile when Breslin's immense, puppy-dog eyes are consuming the screen."

"I save the final praise for Rory Culkin and Abigail Breslin. Shyamalan proves, if nothing else, that he is by far the best director working with children today. These two take on massively responsible roles and handle them with grace and confidence. Culkin, following up his fantastic work in You Can Count on Me, walks to the front of his family’s talent bus. This little guy can flat out act. Breslin, who doesn’t appear to be more than four years old, is adorable, yet never precocious. Placing a great deal of a story’s heft on a child actor’s shoulders is always dangerous (ask George Lucas about his Phantom Menace), but Shyamalan knows how to encourage greatness from them."

"Abigail Breslin and Rory Culkin were both exceptional as the Hess children. Shyamalan has discovered some of the best child actors in the past few years.

Raising Helen, 2004

"The young actors also do an excellent job adding to the film's emotions. Panettiere, all grown up from child roles in Joe Somebody and HBO's Normal, does a nice job as a teen struggling with the loss of her parents, as well as raging hormones, while the Breslin siblings, Spencer (The Cat in the Hat) and his younger sister, Abigail (Signs), handle the tear-jerking scenes with aplomb, especially Abigail. It doesn't matter what frame of mind you're in, watching a little girl cry over the fact she can't tie her shoes because her mother isn't around to teach her is gonna get you every single time."

"As is often the case, little Abigail Breslin steals the show with her sweet and innocent dialogue."

"Abigail Breslin, who plays the little girl, turns in the kind of superb performance that gets you cast in the next Spielberg movie (if he figures Dakota Fanning is too old)."
- Keith Simanton : Sundance Blog

"Abigail Breslin, just perfect as Olive, has a moment of silent understanding and remorse so powerful that it could melt a hundred Grinch hearts and confirms just how big this film’s is – and it’s just getting warmed up."

"Abigail Breslin is a vital blend of klutziness and grace as the ambitious grade-schooler."
