THE FILM IS AWESOME! GO SEE IT! On the big screen it sings, it's story will move you, and the little girl with delight you, and the visuals will make you love going to the movies!
posted by aljax on Jun 17, 2008This movie is amazing. It sad because the only theater thats playing it is about 45 mins away from where I live and I and others have still driven that to see it not only once but a totall of 4 times! I would say that this is a must see movie!
posted by Hikaru Mioko on Jun 24, 2008This is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever seen. The costumes, the colors, the acting, the storing, the music..all perfect! GO SEE IT!
posted by MovieMaker57 on Jul 12, 2008I agree with the other comments, this is the best movie i have seen in a while.
posted by gutiellilia on Jul 22, 2008Definitely it's worth to watch
posted by danicorleone on Sep 09, 2008AMAZING!!! I love it! no wonder it took 4 years to make. I had seen previews back in May, but no theatre around me was playing it, so yesterday when it came out, i went straight to walmart and actually had to lie about my age to buy it. (i'm still 16) but it was totally worth the risk :D does anyone know where i can get the soundtrack?

posted by David on Sep 27, 2008Absolutely visually stunning- The onscreen relationship between the little girl and man is innocent and beautiful.

posted by masiste on Oct 16, 2008The cinematography is stunning, and the character relationships are beautiful. I loved every second of it.
posted by Jenny Kreizman on Nov 08, 2008This movie is INCREDIBLE. I have watched it three times in a row, and hopefully going on to a fourth. Everyone should see it.
posted by Nadia on Nov 25, 2008Breathtaking. I watched it on a plane the other day... I started it and thought "Oh no, this seems really good - I should save it and rent it when I can get good sound and picture quality", but I couldn't tear myself away. I sobbed in front of who knows how many passing flight attendants and Japanese teenagers... it absolutely floored me. A masterpiece.
posted by silverwing on Nov 27, 2008Unbelievable, I have watched it 4 times now and still find things I have missed.. shall we talk about lining up with the wizard of oz? One of my new all time favorite movies. LOVED IT!
posted by brutus on Dec 18, 2008I really do love this movie... The soundtrack/main song...is actually Beethoven's Symphony No. 7. Well, at least the majority of it.
posted by Sayaku on Dec 28, 2008All hail Tarsem. I am violently obsessed, watching the movie for the fifth time in a row now. God save me.
posted by omgbobbydiedwtf! on Feb 21, 2009visually rich and exotic but with a stream of observations pathos and humor which stops it being too sweet and makes it infinitely touching and tender. Brilliant
posted by tulip on Apr 10, 2009The cinematography is breathtaking, the costumes gorgeous, & Lee Pace is heart-stopping. I've watched it about 8 times already and am still not tired of it. I wish I had seen it in the theater on the big screen. Everyone should see it!
