    I need add only this to all the other approving comments: an essential feature of the film is the beautiful music by Angelo Badalamenti.

    I streamed "The City of Lost Children" on Tubi recently, and even if I normally do not watch many subtitled films, I found this French film to be unlike anything I've ever seen or experienced before. I highly recommend this movie, it's one of those movies that you will never forget watching, and the images will stay in your head for a very long time. A beautiful, beautiful, movie that I rate 10 out of 10. I encourage you to read all of the reviews. here and on IMDB.com.

    This movie is like one of those strange dream that lingers with you all day after waking up. It is a crazy theatre piece with zanny characters, a mystery plot and an uncanny atmosphere which create a dream-like style à la David Lynch. So, it is indeed not for everybody. But if you like the strangeness, dream-likeness of certain movies, go for it !

    Ron Perlman pops up in the STRANGEST places sometimes! what a random filmography he has. anyway; this movie was wild - what an opening scene; loved it. it's an interesting concept - Ron feels a little out of place for me, but overall i quite enjoyed it. dreams fascinate me & this weird, surreal, steampunk take on the subject was, maybe a little over the top, but cool.

    Stunning! A surreal fantasy about dreams set in a city of dreams and nightmares filled with longing, loss, fear and love. Beautifully done.

    Reviews like this are so easy. I watched this -- loved its offbeat charm, thrilled to the fantastic cinematography, visuals such eye-candy, costumes, effects, story line, acting all good . . . imagine that Wizard of Oz charm meets Moulin Rouge flair meets Dark City weird science meets Brazil over-the-top camp. Best of all I went and bought it cheap at eBay, brand new, after renting it. Enjoy this delightfully whacked tale!

    One of the weirdest movies I have seen. Right at the beginning, I already felt a creepy and uncomfortable vibe from the characters and the looks. There were a goofy sextuplet and a twin that acted like they were the left and right hemisphere of the brain. The main villain looked creepy, and the headshot made him even weirder. Overall, it's a bizarre and tripping experience. My biggest problems were that the movie was very slow and the weirdness did not help making this movie engaging. 6.5/10
