Peter Rabbit's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
"'Peter Rabbit' isn?t without its odd delights, and while it won?t serve as the definitive version of Potter?s adoring, timeless creation, Gluck?s film may find a way to burrow into your heart."
Empire
"The animals are cute and Gleeson is extremely game. What keeps Peter from Paddington-style delight is a self-conscious need to distance itself from its source material."
The Guardian
"This kids? animation is altogether lively and funny with just enough soul, even if it comes at the expense of Potter?s sensitivity and delicacy."
The Washington Post
"The rift that opens between Bea and the two combatants feels somehow terribly contrived. From there until the requisite happy ending, the story loses some of its emotional weight, if not its humor."
Variety
"Yes, it?s impressive from a visual effects standpoint [...]. However, had Potter lived to see what Hollywood has cooked up for her mischievous hero [...], she almost certainly would have preferred for Peter [...] and his three more cautious sisters [...] to have wound up in one of Mrs. McGregor?s infamous rabbit pies."
The Wrap
"'Peter Rabbit' feels obligated to point out all of the clichés that it?s rehashing, in the mistaken belief that doing so absolves itself from coming up with anything better to replace them."
Los Angeles Times
"The movie [...] resembles a sloppily tended garden plot where crude sight gags and violent set-pieces flourish like weeds, but anything resembling actual humor or delight refuses to take root."
