| Village VoiceMark HolcombIf Michiko Yamamoto's screenplay overdoes Magnifico's holy-fool virtue to the point of hysteria, de los Reyes's fluid compositions, dead-on pacing, and knack for eliciting naturalistic performances make the story uncommonly cathartic. |
| eye WEEKLYAdam NaymanThat I bought into this transparent exercise in tear-jerking ... has as much to do with my own curious tolerance for subtitled excess as it does its own virtues of performance, scripting and direction. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunTo western viewers, Magnifico plays more like a cultural document. It is fascinating to look at, but you are always out of the movie, and mostly to observe the details of emotional manipulation. |
| TV GuideKen FoxThe very definition of sentimental overload. It's also impossible to resist. |
| New York TimesAnita GatesModest but engaging Filipino tear-jerker. |
