Life of Pi Ratings & Reviews

I Loved it 🤩💖
The New Republic
David Thomson
Veteran filmmakers will warn you, don't film at sea and don't work with animals. Ang Lee built a vast tank in Taiwan and he whips up awesome storms. [However,] watching the water here is more rewarding than watching the characters.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
When adrift with Pi and the tiger on the open sea, the film is at its most wondrous: a ravishing spectacle that treads judiciously on the infinite line between what's possible and impossible.
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
Didn't convince me to believe in God, but it did make me believe in the power of cinema.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Mr. Lee's film is stronger as a visual experience-especially in 3-D-than an emotional one, but it has a final plot twist that may also change what you thought you knew about the ancient art of storytelling.
Time Out Chicago
A.A. Dowd
Most admirably, Life of Pi resists turning its remarkably realistic, digitally created feline into a friend or pet.
Slate
Dana Stevens
The movie's energy peters out in a series of book-club conversations about divine will, the power of storytelling, and the resilience of the human spirit.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A movie that can't be dismissed because there is too much in it but can't be embraced because it's all spread too thin.
CNN.com
Tom Charity
This transcendent fable carries a real sting in its tail. Ang Lee has made a bold and wondrous movie, one of his best.

Leonard Maltin
'Life of Pi' offers a phantasmagoria, lulling us into a kind of dream-state where reality and imagination blur in the most beguiling way
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Shelve your dislike of 3D glasses. Quiet your nattering criticism of CGI. Because Lee and his able crew wield those tools like wands.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Everything looks beautiful in Life of Pi.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Like that other "unfilmable" novel, Cloud Atlas, it has, of course, been turned into a movie -- with rather happier results.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Ang Lee's signature style -- tasteful, measured, and devoid of personality -- translates surprisingly well to 3-D.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Pi's story makes you believe why Pi would believe in God, sacrificer of innocents, tester of souls, creator of rapturous beauty.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"Pi" is a wonder to see; too bad it's not wondrous to feel.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Life of Pi," even more so on the screen, is a dream to help us keep the nightmares at bay.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
It's more compelling to focus on Lee's visceral cinematic experience than on the larger, fuzzier messages Martel's story conveys about humanity's connection with God.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Though the film's setup trudges and its closing is too pat, that hour or so on the raft is something special, and few would dive into the story's soul as Lee does.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Life of Pi" both draws the audience in and encourages it to settle back, the better to enjoy its virtually nonstop display of daring, wonder and cinematic virtuosity.
