A bunch of morons making fart jokes and yelling at each other. The score is lovely but it can't redeem this.

An old man's film of remembrance that is nevertheless filled with the energy of youth. Like the mature Bunuel, Fellini imparts a magical unity to material that in less skilled hands would seem indulgently episodic.

Comecei Fellini pelos filmes mais difíceis, barrocos; travei e criei esse bloqueio e uma antipatia enorme. 'La Dolce Vita' mudou completamente minha perspectiva e 'Amarcord' ganhou de vez meu coração.

Fellini's most boring movie. Every now and again there's a chuckle-worthy scene, but altogether it's just plain dull.

A great celebration of all things that are alive, touching and visually charming. Slow paced if you're not used to Fellini, though. This is easily better than 8 1/2 to me.

Boring. Pointless by design is worse than accidentally pointless.

Generally quite funny satire, at times side-splittingly hilarious.

A beautiful postcard of Rimini from the memories of a genius. This is the kind of town I'd have loved to grow up in!

Anecdotal coming-of-age story heightened by an exaggerated sense of nostalgia, giving it an amusing cartoon quality. Fellini is notorious for his indulgence, but in this case there's nothing pretentious about it. How can it be, with so many sex gags and fart jokes? High comedy this ain't, but Fellini treats it with personal affection.

It's beautifully nostalgic but Fellini goes for the throat as he satirizes Italy's past with fascism, a ludicrous, hypocritical Catholic Church and a nation in perpetual adolescence. The interlocking ensemble is effortlessly handled with an immense elegance. The scenes with especially the family are funny as hell. Woody Allen's 'Radio Times' owes a great deal to this film.
