Reviews & comments
Hollywood Reporter
pressBrings genuine emotion to one of the most ambitious film adaptations to date of Carlo Collodi's 1883 kid classic.
Variety
pressA child-friendly movie with its fair share of enchantment but curiously lacking in memorable highlights.
Empire Magazine
pressIn thrall to goodness and kindness, with beautiful creature creations and eccentric humour.
Financial Times
pressGarrone renders the picaresque antics in picturesque tableaux full of elaborate set-dressing and costumery, and delivers a moving denouement.
Independent
pressMoving, tender and sumptuous, but bears a sticky queasiness that some may find unbearable.
The Australian
pressA handsome, inventive and extremely satisfying version of the famous story
The Guardian
pressThe salty-sweet taste Garrone confects will perhaps be a little rich for some and the sentimental streak is certainly there. Pinocchio is a thoroughly bizarre story; Garrone makes of it a weirdly satisfying spectacle.
