| Otroscines.comEzequiel BoettiA worthy approximation of a classic book which only intention is to entertain the family. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Willamette WeekJay HortonAlain Gsponer's adaptation follows precisely the original 19th-cenutry blueprint for Heidi and demonstrates, even in this digital age, the evergreen appeal of picturesque environs, flirty goatherds, and incandescent adorability. |
| KonexiónIsrael Acosta ArocheA new version that captivates, but does not change what it's been already seen in previous adaptations. [Full review in Spanish] |
| South China Morning PostEdmund LeeYou're not going to hear people talking plot twists or modern spins about this umpteenth take on Johanna Spyri's classic children's story. ... Handsomely crafted, if uncompromisingly old-fashioned. |
| La Nación (Argentina)Fernando LopezA faithful adaptation of the novel, it even dares to show a view of a status-based society. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Family Home TheaterJames PlathThis most recent and faithful adaptation does the most spectacular job of exploiting the scenery and Heidi's natural capacity for unbridled joy. |

| User ReviewPeter CPenny & I loved it.... 2015 Swiss version. A classic tale beautifully retold. |
| User ReviewAndré DA good recall of the Japanese tv series animation. Limited by the length of a movie, there were less details of how people bond which was a pity. Consequently there was less moments for you to wet your eyes. But the beautiful landscapes of the Swiss Alps was really stunning. The lack of a St Bernard was bonded with Heidi was truly a pity. |
