"The acting in this film -- particularly Maguire, Allen and Daniels (whom I don't generally find very appealing) -- is terrific, but the show belongs to Gary Ross."
Apollo Guide

C-
"The film satirizes the blandness of such seeming perfection."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
"An innovative and ethically provocative film about free spirits and those who would keep them down."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3.5/4
"The most stunning thing about Pleasantville is the film's look, which rivals that of the year's other two most visually-impressive productions,
Dark City
and
What Dreams May Come.

ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"Enjoyable but a bit more successful in concept than realized execution."

8/10
"It’s better that the filmmakers tried to do something different than make yet another pointless, witless, sterile comedy."

Karina Montgomery
3.5/4
"What makes the effects work all the more impressive is how they are used to support story ideas rather than to serve as gratuitous eye candy."

"For a movie that makes such a big deal about color,
Pleasantville
is awfully black and white."
