Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
He [Director Fellini] leaves us with the hope that the human comedy just may be able to survive everything.

fresh:
Orthodox Fellini lovers will give primacy to La Strada or La Dolce Vita, but Amarcord has its fans, and it's easy to see why.
– Philip Kennicott,

fresh:
Federico Fellini's films beg to be seen on a movie screen. Their panoramic, overstuffed frames and larger-than-life characters overflow the boundaries of home theater; their exuberant, generous humor is best enjoyed in a packed auditorium.
– Colin Covert,

fresh:
Fellini is so bountiful with incident and observation that he makes most other film makers seem stingy.
– Jay Cocks,

rotten:
