Leave your thoughts about The City of Lost Children.
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonFor those who enjoy the offbeat, The City of Lost Children is worth taking the time and effort to find. |
| EmpireKim NewmanThe City Of Lost Children is as great a film as you thought "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" was when you were five years old. |
| Austin ChronicleJoey O'BryanI am not one of you. But I have enough of you in me to pass along the word. Far out. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackChildren, and adults with adventurous taste in movies, will find this among the most eye-popping big-screen experiences in ages. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe movie is best appreciated as a collection of whimsical toys drawn from a fantasy grab bag that encompasses everything from Grimm's fairy tales to "Star Wars." |
| USA TodayMike ClarkSadly, the technical logistics seem to have impeded the dreamlike flow a movie like this requires. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThis delirious film is overflowing with energy and effects, but it lacks the heart and soul that would have made it important as well as impressive. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserI'm not really sure who would enjoy this movie. |
| User Reviewcrim50nThis movie, wow, just wow. I absolutely love this movie. My favorite movie of all time. No kidding. The atmosphere, the actors, the story, just wow. I love movies set in different worlds that don't really classify as sci-fi or fantasy. This is one such treat. Directed and written by the same director/writer of Delicatessen and it definitely shows. If you enjoy this I'd also recommend Big Fish, Mirrormask, and Dark City. Actually scratch that, even if you don't like City of Lost Children you should watch those movies. The only drawback I could see to this movie for audiences is that it is subtitled. However that should most certainly not deter anyone from seeing it. Read a little and get enveloped in this fantastic world. |
| User ReviewDariusTowersBreve reseña, muy buena película, tiene de todo y siento que está armada de tal forma que todo cierra perfecto. Es un film que tiene lo suyo, a lo que voy es que puede gustarte o no, en particular a mi me encanto. De todas las peliculas que vi de este director, de lejos es mi favorita. |
