Leave your thoughts about This Beautiful Fantastic.
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerEnjoyable performances keep the tale from becoming too heavy-handed. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedA charming, beautifully photographed modern fairy tale about love and gardening, This Beautiful Fantastic is worth seeing in spite of its dumb deterrent of a title. |
| Caution SpoilersSarah CartlandA slight, sweet tale about would-be novelist Bella whose life is governed by rules and checks until she tackles her overgrown garden. It doesn't even try to be subtle with the gardening and spreading your wings metaphors but its four misfits are engaging. |
| Village VoiceKristen Yoonsoo KimThere is such a thing as too sweet, and after this film, you'll feel a toothache coming on. |
| AARP Movies for GrownupsBill NewcottDoes for gardening what Babette's Feast did for food and Sideways did for Pinot Noir. |
| Common Sense MediaBarbara ShulgasserWhimsical, sweet story about friendship, gardening. |
| Washington City PaperTricia OlszewskiThe broad strokes of This Beautiful Fantastic are inarguably the stuff of fairy tales. But its heart is purely human. |
| Stuff.co.nzJames CrootFinlay reminds one of a young Winona Ryder as she winsomely juggles learning to garden with letting her guard down, while the always watchable Andrew Scott once again proves to be a scene-stealer with his kindly cook. |
| Bust MagazineDeborah KriegerThis Beautiful Fantastic wants to have it both ways: the odd-duck, pretty girl who changes the lives of the men around her for the better, but who is also the main character in her own story, and the effect is murky and downright unsettling. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. AddiegoFar too precious and eager to please to really deserve its self-description as a fairy tale. |
