Reviews


80
Variety - Jay Weissberg
The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet is the perfect 3D vehicle and Jeunet takes full advantage, offering a feast of amusing visual flourishes suited to the book’s playfulness.
80
CineVue - Joe Walsh
T.S. Spivet is a dreamlike fairytale, which swims in the romanticism of childhood and the decay of the American Dream.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
The film's greatest achievement is in the way the accomplished 3D treatment -- this is Jeunet’s first foray into the format -- emerges entirely naturally, as the precise expression of a gifted child’s vivid imagination.
67
The A.V. Club - Jesse Hassenger
While it doesn’t operate at its full potential, Spivet nonetheless offers a bracing risk: a kid adventure with danger alongside its whimsy and sadness alongside its reassurances.
63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Liam Lacey
Jeunet’s major achievement is to capture the book’s complicated museum clutter and hothouse-flower sensitivity.
