The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec

"The movie is a gorgeous spectacle, and a good deal less saccharine than anything Hollywood is turning out, but hyperactively plotted and oddly cold. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A romp magnifique, with enough thrills, giggles and pretty pictures to reward adventure-lovers who wouldn’t normally entertain the idea of taking in a treat with subtitles. Don’t miss the mid-credits postscript. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)" 

"It is a pleasure to look at, but the performances are heavy-handed rather than pleasantly stylised and the whimsy over-abundant."
