[Happy as Lazzaro] is a true standout: a Super 16mm fugue state that is both elegy and lament for a world that once valued selfless deeds and the humanistic interaction between fellow men above self-preservation and eternal mistrust.November 27, 2018
The film isn't entirely free of didacticism or easy sentiment, but a sense of delayed recognition is what makes it such a knotty experience.November 29, 2018
Easily among this year's finest films and laced with an unapologetic social message, 'Happy As Lazzaro' dares one to imagine a reality where each individual would task themselves to be as selfless and morally whole as its main protagonist.December 10, 2018
Happy as Lazzaro is well-attuned to exploitation and misery, but it doesn't beckon audiences to shed tears. The real vision is a more cynical one.December 13, 2018
It's in this same spirit of unchangeability that Lazzaro's goodness endures -not as a foil to the forces of exploitation, but as their instrument.December 16, 2018
[Rohrwacher] provides the truth of our collective contemporary paranoia. Rather than see [Lazzaro] as a saint to exploit, he becomes a devil harboring ulterior motives.November 30, 2018
Rohrwacher isn't interested in resurrecting the ghosts of movies past so much as channeling the Brothers Grimm. She does not want to just show you pretty pictures, but a genuine vision.December 10, 2018
Odd, confusing magical drama has some language, violence.November 29, 2018
Tardiolo's silent radiance and his director's offhand audacity produce their own bewildering cinematic alchemy.November 29, 2018
This movie feels bracingly new and also like something that has been here forever. It has the urgency of a news bulletin and the authority of a classic.December 03, 2018
Part of the movie's fun - and it is fun, once you adjust to its uninsistent rhythms - is how it forces you to share Lazarro's go-along-to-get-along ebullience.December 17, 2018
A one of a kind experience, where the country's past and present commingle.
