Critic Reviews:

• " The result is a bizarre fairytale extravaganza, and Garonne should be credited for the thoughtful way he has brought his vision to life." – Joseph Walsh (Time Out)

• " A beautiful and cleverly crafted piece which manages to be a faithful return to Collodi's original tale and very much the director's own take. " – John Bleasdale (Sight and Sound)

• " Garrone's steady eye for the bizarre and ironic ensures an engrossing spectacle to spark children's ima­ginations, in a world adults will wearily vouch for. " – Nick Hasted (The Arts Desk)
