Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 02/03/2021
For all its flaws and missteps (more nose growing antics, please), the movie gets under your skin and holds interest... Go to Full Review Joseph Walsh Time Out 02/03/2021
3/5
The result is a bizarre fairytale extravaganza, and Garonne should be credited for the thoughtful way he has brought his vision to life. Go to Full Review John Bleasdale Sight & Sound 02/03/2021
A beautiful and cleverly crafted piece which manages to be a faithful return to Collodi's original tale and very much the director's own take. Go to Full Review Denise Pieniazek Puesta en Escena (AR) 08/16/2024
7.5/10
In contrast to the Disney animation, Garrone presents to us has a more adult and profound look, since, like the literary text, it is aimed at both children and adults, in their entire age range, since it takes up the crudeness of Collodi's text.

It's everything that recent live-action remakes of Disney classics have tried to do without success: a film that respects and follows in the footsteps of the original, but offers its own reasons for existing. [Full review in Portuguese] Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage 10/19/2022
The wooden boy lives in a baroque world that is also decadent. Luminous but also malevolent. Theatric but also nightmarish. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

John D 04/12/2021 The costumes & special effects were awesome! Even though it was in Italian it was easy to follow. See more jaime 02/22/2021 Don’t take young kids. I took my six year olds. She didn’t hate it but I was bothered by the hanging scene. Just too dark for young kids. I was very bored and did not find it funny. See more Franklin 02/21/2021 Very good liked the animation See more Christina 02/14/2021 It was beautiful visually but the story was a little chaotic for me but I’ve only seen the Disney cartoon to compare. I enjoyed it. See more bobby sclater 02/14/2021 It did not do the cartoon justice. Absolute disappointment! See more Jeremy 02/13/2021 Good movie packed with lots of adventures. A few “scary” scenes but my 6yr old was ok. See more Read all reviews
