Eight and a Half (8½)

"Here is a piece of entertainment that will really make you sit up straight and think, a movie endowed with the challenge of a fascinating intellectual game. (...) it sets up a labyrinthine ego for the daring and thoughtful to explore, and it harbors some elegant treasures of wit and satire along the way" 

"'8½' is the best film ever made about filmmaking (...) All of the images (real, remembered, invented) come together into one of the most tightly structured films Fellini made (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" 

"Exhilarating, stocktaking original (...) The most gorgeous and inventive thing he's ever made" 

"'8½' works best as a self-deprecating comedy (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"One of the best films ever made about filmmaking, it’s simultaneously critical of its director’s self-importance and childishness and celebratory of the possibilities of the medium." 

"A masterpiece by cinema’s ultimate dreamer (...) At his best, his films strike a perfect balance between fantasy and reality – and nowhere is this more evident than in his autobiographical classic, '8½'" 

"Fellini’s hallucinogenic masterpiece is the moviest of all movies (...) It is a work that never fails to reward and surprise (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
