Austin Chronicle
Inkheart was shot in and around Liguria on the Italian Riviera, and it looks absolutely ravishing. - 75
The A.V. Club
The story itself is so charmingly dense, fractious, and complicated that it frequently leaves the obvious good-guy-fights-bad-guy groove, and noses toward Terry Gilliam-esque randomness and ebullience. - 75
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Inkheart feels a little confused in its tone and direction, but only a little, and I appreciate the way it both celebrates the power of literature and reminds us that stories have a life beyond the page, even if they are only in our hearts and minds. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
Mirren's all-out display in this distinctly British absurdo-literary extravaganza had me wishing Elinor were my own fabulous auntie and that she'd lend me some magic items from her closet. - 70
Washington Post
For the young people in its demographic wheelhouse, Inkheart packs a welcome amount of entertainment value, creating a genuinely original world of enchantment. - 63
Chicago Tribune
A fine ensemble, some gorgeous Italian Riviera locales, intermittent flashes of magic amid a more manufactured air of whimsy. - 63
TV Guide Magazine
A film that's brimming with fascinating ideas and elevated by some memorable performances. - 63
USA Today
It's a shame that by its conclusion the movie feels like just another special-effects-driven story.
