Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
An empty triumph of overkill set design and weirdo casting.
– Jami Bernard,
New York Daily News,
20 Nov 2013
rotten:
The City of Lost Children gets so caught up in its own weirdness that it all but shuts out the viewer.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,
20 Nov 2013
fresh:
Essentially, The City of Lost Children is a macabre fairy tale, and while its tentacled comic-book plot and freak-show cast narrow its appeal -- this isn't a work of any allegorical depth -- Caro and Jeunet have pulled off a cinematic delight.
– Steven Rea,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
20 Nov 2013
fresh:
On visual terms alone, The City of Lost Children is something of a masterpiece, using state-of-the-art physical, optical and digital special effects to stretch cinematic boundaries.
– Jeff Shannon,
Seattle Times,
20 Nov 2013
fresh:
Jeunet and Caro have distinctive signatures like nobody else's.
