I have never cried at movies. I cried at the end of this one. It was beautiful and bittersweet.

To see someone even attempt bittersweet treatment of this subject is surprising, but to largely pull it off is a major feat.Full Review

Finds the right notes to negotiate its delicate subject matter.Full Review
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
A rare blend of comedy and tenderness whose point is not the horrors of war but the lengths a parent will go to protect his child's innocence.Full Review
Jami Bernard
New York Daily News
The concept is not so much nihilistic as it is realistic, and the fact that Benigni has made such fine distinctions so powerfully clear is amazing and moving.Full Review
Joshua Klein
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Benigni effectively creates a situation in which comedy is courage. And he draws from this an unpretentious, enormously likable film that plays with history both seriously and mischievously. Piety has no place here, nor do tears until the final reel. Life is Beautiful plays by its own rulesFull Review
