Atom User Reviews
Metacritic
Benigni sets out to do the impossible.
Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle
Benigni effectively creates a situation in which comedy is courage. And he draws from this an unpretentious, enormously likable film that plays with history both seriously and mischievously. Piety has no place here, nor do tears until the final reel. Life is Beautiful plays by its own rules
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
The indifference of the proceedings and the hero's slapstick behavior to the everyday realities of the camps borders on the nauseating.
