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

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

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.

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.
