Movie lovers will lose their hearts to Cinema Paradiso , not out of nostalgia, but for Tornatore’s vigorous demonstration of the enduring power of dreams.

(Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)

An eulogy to the romance of the imagination soaring on a thermal of childhood passions... The film shimmers with sentiment... Somewhere beneath the conventional character studies and cutesy tiddley-winking pranks, is a warning about letting go of your dreams.

(Angus Wolfe Murray, Scotsman)
