	Author	Review
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"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"	POS
United States	Richard Corliss Time	"'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"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"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"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Ang Lee's 'Life of Pi' is a miraculous achievement of storytelling and a landmark of visual mastery (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York 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"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'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: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
