4 stars (Very Good) Through the eyes of the adult Toto, we relive his childhood and adolescence in a small Sicilain village - especially his relationship with Alfredo, the Cinema Paradiso's gentle and wise old projectionist. A magical celebration of cinema. ~GenXGirl
5 stars (Exceptional) Wonderful movie - magical music. ~Anon
4 stars (Very Good) Such a gentle, innocent and full film. A delight to watch. ~Davidicus
4 stars (Very Good) Pure charm with realistic edges. Any hint of maudlin would have been ruin.The Italian light is used to its fullest effect to enhance the poignancy of the film and all the acting, camera-work and direction is faultless. ~rakau
4 stars (Very Good) Nice enough, but no longer gripping. Probably too sentimental ~Sandy
5 stars (Exceptional) ~trauma_hound412
5 stars (Exceptional) Pretty much a perfect film, though don't bother with Director's cut as it fills in blanks best left to ponder ~Ellice
4 stars (Very Good) The second half loses much of the energy and charm of the first but overall it is well worth a watch. ~Tubbs
