Time - Richard Schickel
Remain open to fantasies but not be consumed by them. These are good lessons for a would-be director. They are good lessons for everybody. And no recent movie has taught them with more patient sweetness. [Feb. 5, 1990]

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Jay Scott
Cinema Paradiso converts you to the credo that art can indeed be holy.

San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
You leave Cinema Paradiso with that feeling that's kind of like getting kicked in the stomach, but nice. It's one of those breathless, swept-away-by-a-movie experiences that you might have once a year, if you're lucky. [16 February 1990, Daily Notebook, p.E-1]

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Anyone who loves movies is likely to love Cinema Paradiso.

Washington Post - Desson Thomson
Just about everything you ever loved (or hated) about Italian films can be found.
