Critic Reviews for The Young And Prodigious T.S. Spivet
All Critics (45) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (35) | Rotten (10)
The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet is the perfect 3D vehicle and Jeunet takes full advantage, offering a feast of amusing visual flourishes suited to the book's playfulness.
The quirky charm, visual wit and melancholy undertow of Reif Larsen's The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet translate joyously to the screen in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spite.
Even at its zippiest ... The Young And Prodigious T.S. Spivet is infused with a pervasive sense of melancholy and loss, with a family that seems as damaged as they are lovably quirky.
Like cross-breeding a chihuahua with a Jack Russell, the result may be doubly cute, but also doubly annoying.
A challenging film that adults might enjoy but one that is likely to leave younger audiences bewildered.
I simply can't recommend it. Too meandering, too dull; and not even saved by the glorious Helena Bonham Carter.
Audience Reviews for The Young And Prodigious T.S. Spivet
A visually gorgeous fable (even the 3D is amazing) that Jeunet really knew how to make entirely believable, but still it feels like a first draft with structural problems and in need of a better treatment. Besides, Catlett is pretty terrible at times, while only Carter and Davis stand out.
