Critics Consensus

A sweet ode to rediscovering one's inner child, IF largely works as old-fashioned family entertainment despite an occasionally unfocused and unnecessarily complicated plot.

Audience Says

IF captures childhood wonder through a nostalgic adult lens that earnestly explores the importance of friendship, imaginary or not.

This Pixar-ish fable by John Krasinski falls a little short of the films it resembles.

The Nightly (AU)

Bright, imaginative and visually charming with wonderful creature designs, IF wears its very big heart on its sleeve.

Rated: 3/5

At its core, IF is about more than just magic. Sure, there’s plenty of that, but it’s also a thoughtful exploration of childhood loss, loneliness, and the struggle to hold onto that wonder we all lose as we grow up.

Guillermo Troncoso

Screen Realm

A well-meaning, earnest picture with a number of things to say. It’s also a bit of a tonally inconsistent and narratively illogical jumble.

Rated: 3/5

If “IF” is about the wonders of childlike imagination, it lacks the imaginative spark that necessitates.
