Fool's Paradise Ratings & Reviews
- yves-carmineNovember 25, 2025This movies was sincerely lovable and a pleasure to watch. I genuinely believe you'd have to have a deep lack of whimsy and joy to hate this film. Kudos on your directorial debut Mr. Day despite what the pretentious majority may think this filmed is easily a classic that I will re-watch many, many times. Once again, like many times before, the larger population seems too self-involved to either understand or appreciate a wonderful movie, but I guess that is their loss.
- mickerdooFebruary 15, 2026Tough to have a mute AND aimless protagonist (just pick one?). However, the cast, design, pacing and setting are great.
- SamNovember 16, 2025too bad to even hatewatch (aka less enjoyable than war of the worlds (2025))
