"IF" never knows who its audience is. Too silly for a drama and too dramatic for a comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 18, 2024

It is not a bad thing to be reminded of how important it is to embrace the past... It’s those pesky reality moments that prove to be too much of a sticking point for the production to be the comforting tale it should have been.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Jun 13, 2024

Fleming is able to navigate a film that requires her to interact primarily with CGI characters with a sincerity that helps the audience believe in them as well.

A heartfelt exploration of growing up and grappling with the sting of being left behind or forgotten. You will be tickled by imagination and touched by the power of dreams.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 10, 2024

A tonal misfire.

IF definitely has imagination on its side, but it needed a more focused story and better-defined logic to its universe's rules.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/10 | Jun 7, 2024

Bright, imaginative and visually charming with wonderful creature designs, IF wears its very big heart on its sleeve.

Michael Giacchino works a double shift with his beautiful score, to help Krasinski's sweet message peek its head in the end. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 7, 2024

The acting and especially the comedic timing by John Krasinski and Ryan Reynolds is excellent, as usual. [Full review in Spanish]

IF's offbeat charm and bouncy humour finds an easy rhythm without effort, but there's not enough storytelling muscle to make your imagination swirl.

The real star of IF is composer Michael Giacchino, who turns out another banger score. For over 20 years, we’ve been privileged to witness his genius. It’s time to recognize Giacchino as one of the all-time great film composers.

Sadly, IF boasts neither the wit nor the ingenuity of its dazzling influences. Instead, it's a tale with nowhere to go, a film that commits to nothing and rarely fulfils its true potential.

I am slightly iffy about IF.

IF has the same magical effect as a child’s drawing: the lines may be wobbly, the colors and proportions strange, but somehow, it fills your heart with warmth.

Full Review | May 30, 2024

The rest of it is a shrine to Garry Marshall sentiment that communicates somehow the tactile feeling of treacle and mucus–the yellow kind, when you're really sick.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | May 29, 2024

I wish the formidable Gossett had had a less sentimental, more meaty live-action role to go out on. But again, that’s just me.

Full Review | May 29, 2024

IF feels half-baked, and too cute by the other half. It’s cloying and saccharine and shamelessly punching the Pixar button to mimic real emotion.

Full Review | May 29, 2024

There’s a cartoonish side for the kids and a nostalgia tug for adults. It has a decent twist at the end and the final credits sequence, which includes the invisible Keith, is worth hanging around for.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 28, 2024

Go for the unicorns, dragons, and A-list cameos, but stay for the big beating heart and Cailey Fleming’s star-making performance. It will leave you glowing.
