While probably not suitable for the wee ones, older kids and most adults will love this exciting and heartfelt adventure of one boy's survival during the darkest days of post-war Europe.Full Review

TV Guide

An unusually intelligent adventure film scaled for younger viewers, which never leaves adults behind.Full Review

Variety

The movie meets the requirements of the "Life Is Beautiful" school; those loyal to the tougher, more stringent Osama academy of realism need not apply.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly
