Theatrical

... tedious in the extreme ...

… locally-farmed joy for the whole family.

There are one or two sight gags and some affecting scenes, but the film as a whole feels inconsequential.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice won’t possess your soul or change your life, and if you’re expecting an equal to the wonderful original, you’ll be disappointed.

… a darkly satirical body horror masterpiece. A horny, hideous, slime slicked nightmare ride through phobia, loathing and fleshy indignities you won't believe you’re seeing.

… a classic French art movie (no pun intended), in which the beautiful scenery, costumes and food provide much of the obvious visual appeal.

Tepid, unconvincing, overlong and genuinely draining.

…an amiable cinematic journey that takes audiences through New Zealand’s breathtaking landscapes while delivering a blend of humour, adventure, and heartfelt drama.

… works well enough in its own terms as an enjoyable exercise in nostalgia and a (mildly) engaging and linear biopic.

… thought-provoking …
