Critic Reviews

V.A. Musetto

Shamelessly press viewers' emotional buttons. But the film is so well-made and the performances so accomplished that it doesn't matter. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The very definition of sentimental overload. It's also impossible to resist. Read full review

David Sterritt

Amiable, though much too long. Read full review

Mark Holcomb

If Michiko Yamamoto's screenplay overdoes Magnifico's holy-fool virtue to the point of hysteria, de los Reyes's fluid compositions, dead-on pacing, and knack for eliciting naturalistic performances make the story uncommonly cathartic. Read full review

Anita Gates

Modest but engaging Filipino tear-jerker. Read full review

Leslie Felperin

A wholesome family movie with a moppet star and tearjerker ending, Magnifico milks the sentiment like an industrial dairy machine on overdrive. Read full review
