Visual indigestion - The City of Lost Children review by JK
There was probably some point to this film but I couldn't hang around to find out what it was. Heaven knows what the set must have cost, not to mention all the luminous green water.

Very French, pretentious, baffling, all style no substance film with some eye-catching images - The City of Lost Children review by PV
My favourite bit of this film is the start - the scene with the Santa Clauses is great, all bendy lenses etc.
All goes downhill after that - and one also wonders if, in France, in 1995, it was acceptable for film makers to terrify tiny children for the purposes of cinema.
2 stars for the style and imagery - otherwise, no stars.

Dont waste your time - The City of Lost Children review by Ernie
I usually chose films on how they are rated in the description so this one looked good. I now have to re evaluate my method I fail to see how it got so many stars, my wife and I gave it twenty minutes before we gave up as being unable to follow it. You have the female fagin character a female artful dodger, a frankinstien type person all with some religious cult. So dont let me stop you but dont say I failed to warn you!
