Geppetto's puppet creation, Pinocchio, magically comes to life with dreams of becoming a real boy. Easily led astray, Pinocchio tumbles from one misadventure to another as he is tricked, kidnapped and chased by bandits through a wonderful world full of imaginative creatures - from the belly of a giant fish, to the Land of Toys and the Field of Miracles.

For all its flaws and missteps (more nose growing antics, please), the movie gets under your skin and holds interest...

Time Out

The result is a bizarre fairytale extravaganza, and Garonne should be credited for the thoughtful way he has brought his vision to life.

Rated: 3/5

Sight & Sound

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.

Puesta en Escena (AR)

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.

Rated: 7.5/10

Cinema em Cena

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]

Rated: 4/5

The wooden boy lives in a baroque world that is also decadent. Luminous but also malevolent. Theatric but also nightmarish. [Full review in Spanish]

The costumes & special effects were awesome! Even though it was in Italian it was easy to follow.

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.

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.

Good movie packed with lots of adventures. A few “scary” scenes but my 6yr old was ok.
