| PRO REVIEWS |
----------------------------------------
"A gorgeous and accomplished rendering of the massive best-seller. (...) Ang Lee, that great chameleon among contemporary directors, achieves an admirable sense of wonder in this tall tale" (Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter)
----------------------------------------
"This exquisitely beautiful adaptation of Yann Martel's castaway saga has a sui generis quality that's never less than beguiling, even if its fable-like construction and impeccable artistry come up a bit short in terms of truly gripping, elemental drama" (Justin Chang: Variety)
----------------------------------------
"'Pi' is a giant leap forward, outward and upward in expanding the resources of the evolving medium of movies. Magical realism was rarely so magical and never before so real" (Richard Corliss: Time)
----------------------------------------
"Ang Lee's 'Life of Pi' is a miraculous achievement of storytelling and a landmark of visual mastery (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)
----------------------------------------
"The movie invites you to believe in all kinds of marvelous things, but it also may cause you to doubt what you see with your own eyes - or even to wonder if, in the end, you have seen anything at all" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)
----------------------------------------
"'Life of Pi' puts 3D in the hands of a worldclass film artist. Ang Lee uses 3D with the delicacy and lyricism of a poet. You don't just watch this movie, you live it (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)
