Critic Reviews of "Life is Beautiful"
Globe and MailApril 12, 2002Yes, there are heaps of charm and poignancy in this trifle, but it's a trifle nonetheless -- light-and-bright, for sure, but also slight-and-trite.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 14, 2001Its sentiment is inescapable, but genuine poignancy and pathos are also present, and an overarching sincerity is visible too.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000In the real death camps there would be no role for Guido. But Life Is Beautiful is not about Nazis and Fascists, but about the human spirit.
USA TodayJanuary 01, 2000Art-house sentimentalists will likely go for Beautiful in a big way, but even those who aggressively resist manipulation can find a lot to admire.
New York TimesJanuary 01, 2000dares to laugh in the face of the unthinkable. And because Benigni can be heart-rending without a trace of the maudlin, it works.
Entertainment WeeklyJanuary 01, 2000You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll smile through the evils of genocide!

Bangitout.comAugust 20, 2009The film's title, which very well could have been a straightforward declaration prior to the war, becomes a source of twisted irony once we witness Guido pull down the grate outside his humble bookshop and the words JEWISH STORE are seen sprayed across th
eFilmCritic.comMarch 11, 2008With Life Is Beautiful, the final frontier of schmaltz has been reached.
EmanuelLevy.ComJanuary 26, 2007Sentimental and contrived, Benigni's well-intentioned Holocaust dramedy may only work as a children's fable. Inexplicably, it won a prize at the 1998 Cannes Festival.
Blogcritics.orgMarch 22, 2006Benigni does with the Nazi setting what Chaplin didn't dare in The Great Dictator--he lets the liberating nonsense triumph.
