The plot makes not a lick of sense, but the imagery is striking, and the adoration of Fellini's films comes through loud and clear.

The movie can shift unevenly from effusive love letter to travel lust to sentimental moment, but that doesn't break the fantasy.

The Hollywood Reporter

However much its sentimentalized innocence stretches credulity, the overall production remains polished, and young dreamers who come across it in limited release may well embrace it.

Behind The Lens

Much like a Fellini film, we see humanity and life under unique lenses which just strengthen our own individual journeys and examinations of our own human condition and the idea of daring to dream. MAGNIFICO! BELLISIMO! MAGICO!

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

This sweet story that has been put to film shows the passion Cartwright found for the 1954 Fellini film "La Strada" that started a three-decade journey that resulted in the story of what it means to be deeply passionate about something.

Rated: 3/4

In Search of Fellini is not trying to hide its source material and inspiration, or replace Fellini's works, it's simply adoring of his work, an in this regard, the film is in reverence of the rich and magical world that Fellini creates.

In search of Fellini had lots of flashbacks, which sometimes was confusing for me to determine which character was who. I found the story engaging and entertaining.
