Movie Reviews

Eye for Film - 10/10 by Amber WilkinsonThis is an upbeat, often hilarious, but never mawkish, celebration of love.
sbs.com.au - 9/10 by Fiona WilliamsBoy contains very little 'quirk for quirk's sake' -- and that's no mean feat for a film that's replete with 'nudge-nudge-wink-wink' 80s nostalgia, music video recreations, and a key character who may or may not be a superhero.
Eye for Film - 9/10 by Jennie KermodeIt's relentlessly funny but depends in equal part on the charm of its characters and on Boy's sense of wonder at the world.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by J. R. JonesWaititi has reached into his past for a story that belongs to him alone.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordFrom its pop culture addicted populace...to the exploits Boy imagines for his dad (deep sea diver, war hero, friend of Jackson) depicted by animations of Rocky's crayon drawings, "Boy" charms.
Wall Street Journal - 9/10 by Joe MorgensternThe film succeeds to the degree that it does -- partially, but honorably and sometimes affectingly -- because it was made as well as it was.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Michael O'SullivanIt's serious stuff, but with a veneer of cheeky comedy.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Ty BurrBecause its gaze is so level and so unyielding, it stands as one of the better dramatic films made on this subject (although it's not nearly as fine as Louis Malle's "Au Revoir les Enfants."
TheMovieReport.com - 8/10 by Michael DequinaThe storytelling is far from standard, from the endearingly eccentric characterizations and performances to match to the whimsical, sometimes surreal tone.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Steven ReaIn key ways, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is like Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth": a child, caught in the waking nightmare of one of history's ugliest times, confronting the horrors of a grown-up world, and dealing with them as best he, or she, can.
