Reviews

New York Daily News -
Giddily inventive.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
To concentrate on the minor faults of a fable as beautiful and unusual as Pleasantville would be missing the point.
|
|
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
Delightful as it often is, the picture suffers fom the same structural and thematic tidiness, even smugness, that it nominally opposes.
|
|
L.A. Weekly -
The results are charming if rarely thrilling, with outstanding performances from Joan Allen and William H. Macy.
|
|
Time -
An epic-size, largely entertaining parable of repression and awakening.
