    An interesting film! Gary Ross has come up with one of the most subversive and definitely one of the most memberable films to me. It's ingenious about free spirits, with this it overcomes its moralising with magical photographic effects supported by excellent production design.
    The film is fascinating and entartaintment at the same time. Though the acting was average, I guess the show really belongs to Gary Ross wich is interesting.
    It's just a magical expericience with visually breathtaking! A most original film in my view, excellent!

    very entertaining and wonderful movie, kinda of a movie with a message but nonetheless well done, well acted and very poignant.

    not bad light entertainment, the metaphors of embracing change (race, communism, etc.) are well used in these settings of a black and white world where shades of colour start appearing. The lesson is to go with things rather than resist them and maintain the status quo! Good performances from all the cast, especially J.T. Walsh in his final film performance. Memorable cameo scene too with Don Knotts (Mr Furley from the classic TV show "Three's Company").

    Muy interesante y reflexiva. En verdad es absurdo pensar que pueda existir algo como un lugar perfecto y esta pelicula lo muestra bastante bien. Muy buenas actuaciones y puesta en escena.

    Interesting movie. I don't really like Tobey Maguire, but he started to grow on me as the film went on, despite the kind of cheesy end scenes. The cinematography was great, and the supporting actors were awesome (William H. Macy is funny. "Where's my dinner?" "It's rain." Etc...). Jeff Daniels was also great.

    Not normally my sort of film but watched and was really taken with it. I love the concept of black and white changing to colour to fit with the storyline,
