- 6.0 Screen DailyDave Calhoun
Strong performances and imaginative visuals help to make it an engaging fairytale with a distinctive otherworldly tone – but something is lost by widening the story beyond Klara’s tight perspective.

In trying to reach every audience the filmmakers assume will attend, likely a variety of ages and many book fans, it loses focus.
Read - 2.0 Los Angeles TimesTim Grierson
Such flat, enervating filmmaking makes the whole endeavor a shockingly cynical affair. “Klara and the Sun” keeps insisting we feel things when the storytelling hasn’t earned our tears or despair.
