The Postman Reviews
Common Sense Media
Scott G. Mignola
Romance, gorgeous words, and the beauty of Italy.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Works on so many different levels--as a tribute to the power and beauty of poetry; as a tale of brotherhood; and as a charmingly quirky romance.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
[The actors] make this good-hearted little film into a quiet meditation on fate, tact, and poetry.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
One of the most romantic movies ever made.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
A mildly charming fable, about an Italian postman who eins the heart of a local girl through the heartfelt poetry of a legendary port, the film became cause celebre when star Massimo Troisi died one day after the shoot was over.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Overrated, but powerful.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
A sweet and likable romantic fable until the finale strains for import.
USA Today
The Postman (Il Postino) is slight, but it's tough to imagine anyone not liking it.
