    Entertainment Weekly | Lisa Schwarzbaum

    This is a dark story as well as a frothy one. But the bubble of absurdist self-absorption in which Menzel places this specimen of man-child is exquisite. Read full review

    The Hollywood Reporter | Ray Bennett

    It is a sumptuously told tale of childlike wonder in the face of darkest corruption and war, mixing high comedy, surreal sequences and genuine drama viewed from a wise, jaundiced perspective. Read full review

    Wall Street Journal | Joe Morgenstern

    The movie's main appeal is its special comic flavor -- a zesty fusion of picaresque adventure, absurdist whimsy and Chaplinesque grace. Read full review

    Variety | Eddie Cockrell

    A virtual primer on the unique mixture of self-deprecating dark humor and personal tragedy that has been the Czech cinema's stock-in-trade since their celebrated 1960s New Wave. Read full review

    Boston Globe | Ty Burr

    A charming, damning portrait that has been stinging audiences in the Czech Republic since its 2006 release. In any language, what the movie says about surviving fascism by rolling with it speaks loud and clear. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Ruthe Stein

    Viewers will be swept away by the beauty of individual moments and by Ivan Barnev's extraordinary performance. Read full review

    The New York Times | Stephen Holden

    The performance of Mr. Barnev, who has the poker face and agility of a silent clown, defines the style of a film whose timing and physical comedy look back to 1920s slapstick. Read full review

    Washington Post | Ann Hornaday

    Pirouettes along a beguiling but treacherous line between horror and whimsy. Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Kevin Thomas

    The new film is so leisurely paced and overly long that what means to be at once charming yet darkly satirical lapses into tedium and barely comes alive. Read full review
