	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The first 40 minutes or so of 'Wall-E' (...) is a cinematic poem of such wit and beauty that its darker implications may take a while to sink in."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"You leave 'WALL-E' with a feeling of the rarest kind: that you've just enjoyed a close encounter with an enduring classic (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	John Anderson The Washington Post	"A jewel of a film -- in conception, execution and message."	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"What we have with 'WALL-E' is 45 minutes of a masterpiece and another 50-odd minutes of dithering (...) In memory (...) the weaker parts will drop out of mind, while the moments of sheer brilliance, which are one-of-a-kind, will gain in importance."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[A film] that you can enjoy even if you’ve grown up. That it works largely without spoken dialogue is all the more astonishing (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Engaging and visually stunning (...) Inventive, poignant and funny (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"The film is so clever and sophisticated that you worry, slightly, that it might be too clever to connect with mainstream audiences."	POS
United Kingdom	Sukhdev Sandhu Telegraph	"An outrageously ambitious love story that pushes the art of digital animation to new heights"	POS
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"What a rich, strange and intriguing picture this is (...) Pixar boldly goes where no animation studio has gone before (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Olly Richards Empire	"This is their most ambitious undertaking since 'Toy Story' and storytelling of such charm and visual wit that it can stand proudly alongside the studio’s best. Absolute heaven (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"There’s nothing here that’s not wonderfully imagined and lovingly presented (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
