Que soco na boca do estômago, pensei tratar de um filme hiper mega fofinho no melhor estilo Nárnia, em suas imaginações e fantasias magníficas, ledo engano, que dolorido... É um filme de tantas camadas, que retrata tantas realidades e sofrimentos pelos quais as crianças não deveriam passar nunca, como violência, bullying, perdas irreparáveis… E como demorei tanto para assistir esse filme memorável, mas principalmente como escapei ilesa aos spoiler, certamente minha memoria fraca ajuda...

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

A beautiful learning story for children, but at the same time a great philosophical blow for adults. A brilliant film!

'Bridge to Terabithia' is thoughtful indeed but feels like it was adapted at the wrong time and by the wrong people. There is nothing beneath the surface to this movie, the subtlety of the novel is tragically translated to explicit themes in this hokey adaptation.

David Stratton

At the Movies (Australia)

The characters, especially those of the two ten-year-old protagonists, ring true and when, just past the midway point, tragedy strikes it's quite devastating.

Rated: 3.5/5

Bridge to Terabithia is not only faithful to the novel but also stands to become a beloved family movie.

Wall Street Journal

This screen adaptation of Katherine Paterson's now-classic novel for young readers tells its story with agreeable simplicity in between computer-generated monsters.

Michael Clark

Epoch Times

An enchanting, suspenseful, masterful work which digs far deeper than most films of this genre before or since. It took chances where none were needed and all of these gambles paid off in spades. Watching it will make you a better human being.

Rated: 4.5/5

It can be over-sentimental and saccharine in moments, but it's also a kids' film, so why shouldn't it be?

Manages that rare feat of being both a faithful adaptation and appealing on an independent basis.
