It is one of those movies that brush away our cautions and win our hearts." [70] He later added it to his "Great Movies" list, structuring the essay as a letter to his grandchildren about the first time they watched it. [108] Michael Sragow of Rolling Stone called Spielberg "a space age Jean Renoir. ... for the first time, [he] has put his breathtaking technical skills at the service of his deepest feelings". [109] Derek Malcolm of The Guardian wrote that " E.T. is a superlative piece of popular cinema [...] a dream of childhood, brilliantly orchestrated to involve not only children but anyone able to remember being one". [110] Leonard Maltin included it in his list of "100 Must-See Films of the 20th Century" as one of only two movies from the 1980s. [111] Political commentator George Will was one of few to pan the film, feeling it spread subversive notions about childhood and science. [112]
