Reviews

Despite its visually enchanting scenes and Roberto Benigni's earnest performance, 'Pinocchio' fails to fully capture the magic of the classic tale, resulting in a lackluster cinematic experience. Critics have noted the film's disjointed narrative and uneven pacing, as well as the challenges of translating a well-known story into a feature-length film. 'Pinocchio' received harsh reviews from major critics, earning a low IMDb rating of 4.3/10, a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a mere 11/100 on Metacritic. While some viewers may appreciate the film's visual appeal and whimsical elements, the overall consensus is that this adaptation falls short of its potential.
