| Globe and MailBrad WheelerThe plot might be a bit labyrinthian for kids, but, then, the young ones always do manage to find their way, don't they. |
| National PostChris KnightYou know what? The Games Maker is 111 minutes long but would take as least twice as long to explain. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloBoard-game themed fantasy has bullying, violence. |
| Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungA fine new addition to the library of imaginative children's film fantasy. |
| User ReviewHarold MUnits a great movie, along the lines of Matilda, about a boy who has a talent for making games |
| User ReviewAlbert PI loved the sets and look of the film in addition to an interesting and creative storyline. It had a Wes Anderson feel to it. The highest praise I could give it is that my 14 year old jaded son lifted his head from his laptop and joined the rest of the family watching (which never happens). The whole time, I wondered where in the world did they shoot this and fully appreciated the effort it took to make it. The sinking school was genius. Great family film. |
| User ReviewDarthatron .I thought it was a really nice movie. It had a nice story. I enjoyed watching it. |
| User ReviewJake SJust saw this film at Sundance Film Festival. It is amazing. The cast is great, and the acting is convincing. This is a childrens movie, and accordingly, the plot is geared toward a less mature audience. However, it is still a great family movie, and is a great cultural film, as it was mostly filmed in Argentina and Italy, as well as Canada. |
