Critic Reviews

  • Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

    Delivering the cinematic equivalent of a lump of coal in a Christmas stocking, The Nutcracker in 3D is an apparent Scrooge-like attempt by Russian filmmaker Andrei Konchalovsky to forever ruin children's associations with the classic Yuletide ballet.

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    One of the most misguided children's films ever made.

  • Dana Stevens, Slate

    This non-balletic adaptation by the Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky is something gnarled and stunted and wrong, something that should never have been allowed to see the light of day. How's that for a holiday-ad pullquote?

  • David Edelstein, New York Magazine

    [It] has so many terrible ideas that the terrible execution is almost irrelevant: Even if the film were well done, it would still be a travesty.

  • Mike Hale, New York Times

    The Viennese scenes, shot on Budapest soundstages, give a new, dreary meaning to "workmanlike."

    It's a kid's movie. I liked the effects but it was nothing special. The story was a bit messed up. Like I had the feeling that something was not there. It's not bad though.

    The film starts out cute and harmless but then turns into an episode of Doctor Who and not a good one either. The talented Elle Fanning at least lights up the screen through-out.
