With an abundance of scenes and an array of peculiar characters, the film struggles to find coherence or intrigue. It becomes evident that a compelling narrative is essential for any successful film, and unfortunately, Pinocchio falls short in this aspect.
The characters lack depth, often bordering on annoyance rather than engagement. The disjointed nature of the storytelling further exacerbates the issue, as it feels like a series of disconnected scenes rather than a cohesive narrative. Despite commendable efforts in cinematography, music, sets, and costumes, these elements alone cannot salvage the film from its narrative shortcomings. As such, I wouldn't recommend investing time in watching this. Garrone's direction failed to bring coherence and depth to the story, resulting in a disappointing adaptation of the classic tale. Granting it only 2 out of 10 stars.
