Critic Reviews for Barefoot

All Critics (4) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (2)

An able touch of sardonic East European humor keeps things smart and light, even if real drama is notable by its absence.

Deborah Young
Hollywood Reporter
A sweet and doggedly innocent fable set among a terrible moment of history, Barefoot assuredly asserts the primacy of childhood in its beautiful simplicity.

The comic stylization of dreams and memories of others in Svĕrák's film does not fit well into the story. [Full Review in Spanish]

[Director] Jan Sverák returns to bet on a child's story in this dramedy... even if the score points draw even. [Full review in Spanish]
