Reception
The film has a 42% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on twelve reviews.[3]
Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com awarded the film one and a half stars and wrote, "Yet in spite of this curious premise, William simply devolves into a drab, moody morality tale for parents about not treating your kids like test subjects."[4]
Dennis Harvey of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Tim Disney’s film strikes a bland compromise between science-fantasy, suspense-melodrama and family entertainment, developing no element to a level that generates more than mild interest."[1]
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Deadly earnest in its highbrow seriousness, William would seem ripe for parody, except that Encino Man got there first."[2]
