	Author	Review
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"'The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet' is the perfect 3D vehicle and Jeunet takes full advantage, offering a feast of amusing visual flourishes suited to the book’s playfulness."	POS
United States	Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter	"The film's greatest achievement is in the way the accomplished 3D treatment (...) emerges entirely naturally, as the precise expression of a gifted child’s vivid imagination."	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"For all it boasts in ingenious style, this genial American yarn lacks the delicious bile of Jenuet's early days. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The two adjectives in the title should be replaced with 'annoying' and 'unendurably tiresome'. (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
