"Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart" stubbornly remains less than the sum of its parts. But its rich visual imagery suggests the talented artists involved could create something exciting and truly original if they had a better script.

Slant Magazine

The film is at once enabled and hindered by its utter strangeness, an intrinsic quality surely exacerbated in its English-language release.

Rated: 2.5/4 •

Variety

Malzieu has created a fully-realized, wildly imaginative storybook world and populated it with eccentric characters.

The story is scratchy, and Malzieu's songs don't always translate well, but the visual aesthetic is tactile and sublime.

Rated: 3/5 •

Alternate Ending

Learned all the right lessons from early Tim Burton, concocting a whole world full of distorted, horrific visions and treating them with unadulterated, unapologetic joy.

Rated: 3/5 •

This movie was a fever dream I was visually assaulted over 20 different times. I hate the French now and I will never be able to leave my country out of fear of witnessing something as visually scarring as this movie. I wish I had amnesia so I wouldn't have to have traumatic flashbacks of Jack the ripper chasing a 14 year old ginger British boy. To anyone who says this movie is appealing or reminded of their child hood I have good psychiatric wards I can reccomend. I will have ptsd of this day forever, I literally got an account just to warn you.

I cried and am still crying after this movie, I'm quite literally ruined and cannot believe the ending. I recently re-discovered this movie after watching it throughout my childhood and I've never genuinely watched the movie like I just did. There's definitely a lot of...references that flew over my head when I was younger and going back to the ending I just can't bro I'm gonna cry again just thinking about it.
