Pinocchio

"Garrone's adaptation may be episodic in nature and lacking a dramatic throughline, but its rich imagery and loyalty to the original must rank it as the definitive screen version of the classic tale."
★★★★
- Steve Morrissey, Radio Times

"Garrone's film is rather like the restoration of a famous painting."
★★★★
- Tom Shone, The Sunday Times

"It results in a film that is moving, tender and sumptuous, but bears a sticky queasiness that some may find unbearable."
★★★★
- Adam White, The Independent

"The source material is a neat fit for the Italian film-maker, who traversed similarly episodic fairytale terrain with 2015's Tale of Tales."
★★★★
- Simran Hans, The Observer

"A lovingly made take on Pinocchio, in thrall to goodness and kindness, with beautiful creature creations and eccentric humour. It lacks a little weight, but it brings big smiles."
★★★★
- Alex Godfrey, Empire

"Pinocchio is a thoroughly bizarre story; Garrone makes of it a weirdly satisfying spectacle."
★★★★
- Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
