The Postman Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Scott G. Mignola
Romance, gorgeous words, and the beauty of Italy.
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.
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.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
A sweet and likable romantic fable until the finale strains for import.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Overrated, but powerful.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
[The actors] make this good-hearted little film into a quiet meditation on fate, tact, and poetry.
USA Today
The Postman (Il Postino) is slight, but it's tough to imagine anyone not liking it.
