Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Besson's restored Big Blue proves mystical, intriguing.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Kim Morgan
A flawed fable but an intriguing one nonetheless. It's "Splash" gone existential. How many films can you name like that?
TV Guide Frank Lovece
Deeply adolescent; its impact is visceral rather than intellectual.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Mark Holcomb
The results are predictably lachrymose, especially with the reinstated "unhappy" ending from the original French version.

Troy gave it a10:
All time great, visually stunning with amazing characters. The original sound-track is wonderful.
David B. gave it a10:
Outstanding movie that is so unlike the predictable commercial movies of today. This movie takes its time and leaves a lot up to the viewer rather than spelling it all out for us. Very moving for me.
Johnathan H. gave it a 0:
It's rubbish and very boring.
Dennis S. gave it a 10:
This is an epic movie. Visually stunning and unusual theme and a brilliant cast. I only have seen the extended version. The 119min cut I might find a completely different film.
Heather H. gave it a 10:
This has to be the most excellent movie I have ever seen! The story line is magical. Although I preferred the original version over the director's cut, it is and always will be my favorite movie of all time.
Spencer N. gave it a 10:
Such a good movie, but I'm curious of what HAPPENED to the OLD soundtrack... the music that came with the first (non-director cut)... where is that music? It was good.. This director's cut I don't like much.
Donna W. gave it a 10:
I really don't understand why some people trash this movie. It's stunning and brilliant. I LOVE IT!
