Trivia
After several adaptations that had made the story family-friendly, director Matteo Garrone wanted this movie to go back to the grim atmosphere and satirical tone of Carlo Collodi's original novel, complete with depictions of cruelty and extreme poverty. Garrone said that much of the criticisms of the film's violent content came from adults, while children in the test audience were quite relaxed about that aspect.

Goofs
When Pinocchio changes from being a donkey to puppet again, while he's swimming and talking to the circus owner, in the first three scenes, he's been shown with the hangman's noose all around his neck, but in the last time, when he says "goodbye" to him, the hangman's loose disappeared.

Quotes
Geppetto: I've been thinking to make with my hands, by myself, a wooden puppet.

6/10

Missed opportunity for something great- but definitely not for young ones

To see a different take on the Pinocchio story from the established Disney animated story, was something to anticipate.

And although the opportunity was there, and the film makers had all the ingredients, they managed to blow it.

The visual style was there and the creepiness/ weirdness levels turned up to 11 at times, but the slow pacing meant that I at least found things boring at times, and it dropped a star or two in my estimation.

Parents need to check other spoiler reviews before considering whether it will suit their kids - suffice to say Uncle Walt would not have approved...
