Tale of Tales - Anmeldelser

...‘Tale of Tales’ er en fremragende filmatisering af Basiles balstyriske fabler, der emmer af lige dele mørke og magi.

...he might not be Fellini, but at least he manages to pull off something more captivating than a run-of-the-mill Disney-fied bedtime story.

Garrone's film takes three of Basile's stories and visualizes them with no stinting on the nasty bits.

Matteo Garrone’s Tale of Tales is fabulous in every sense: a freaky portmanteau film based on the folk myths collected and published by the 16th-century Neapolitan poet and scholar Giambattista Basile...

...lika mörk och brutal som den är rolig och lekfull. Kostymerna är spektakulära och miljöerna så genomarbetade att de lyckas skapa en alldeles egen och trovärdig trolsk värld.

...en filmatisering af tre folkeeventyr (...), der indgår i den italienske barokdigter Giambattista Basiles samling Pentamarone.

A lavish curio that at times tests your patience, but rewards you with its sumptuous design.

...a three-ring circus of a movie for which front row seats are highly recommended.
