The Tiger and the Snow Reviews
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The only award Benigni's misconceived and unfunny The Tiger and the Snow could possibly win is for Worst Movie of 2006.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
This film, one of the worst of 2006, almost has to be seen to be believed -- a comedy about a man who goes to Iraq, and, amid a string of comic misadventures, tries to save the life of his love, who has been gravely wounded in a bombing.
Associated Press
David Germain
Like Life Is Beautiful, The Tiger and the Snow incongruously offers sharp laughs and touches of tenderness amid moments of drama and danger.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Roberto Benigni's film is a scorching affront to Italians, Iraqis and the intelligence of movie audiences everywhere.
Greenwich Village Gazette
Eric Lurio
Benigni is floundering here, and it only gets worse as the film goes along. There's no real sense of any danger, no real identification with any of the characters. No laughs, which is what you need in a comedy.
Reel.com
Pam Grady
He certainly never shuts up, and he never stops joking; he's a neurotic narcissist to whom a war and a country's misery mean little except how they affect him personally.
Boxoffice Magazine
Chad Greene
What Benigni was able to do so improbably in a World War II concentration camp in his masterpiece Life Is Beautiful - find comedy - he is utterly unable to do in the shock-and-awed streets of Baghdad in the early days of Gulf War II.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The Tiger and the Snow is another objectionable romantic comedy from Roberto Benigni, a con man who treats war as his comedic playground.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Shameless, utterly predictable and grimly unfunny nonsense.
Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
Perhaps a greater passage of time was needed to provide a more effective historical perspective, but Tiger has a bigger problem with a dramatic structure that sags conspicuously in the middle, never to completely correct itself.
Village Voice
Ed Halter
Neither profound nor funny, but merely uncomfortable. A hubristic failure at risky humor, The Tiger and the Snow provides Benigni his own Michael Richards moment.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
[Roberto Benigni's] an irritating goofball at times, but there's a genuine sense of tragedy and darkness -- of the most ancient traditions of clowning, in fact -- underneath it all.
L.A. Weekly
Ed Halter
Roberto Benigni here plays out a madcap tale of romantic obsession against the backdrop of the Iraq invasion. The results are neither profound nor funny.
FilmStew.com
Richard Horgan
Unlike the pre-TV world of concentration camps seen in Life is Beautiful, the Iraq war is something we are all directly familiar with.
Film Journal International
Shirley Sealy
As a writer and director, Benigni's off-the-wall originality is striking--but sometimes he goes too far.
Los Angeles Daily News
Bob Strauss
It's mostly Benigni jumping around and waving his hands like he always does.When the occasional sobering tragedy strikes, it has little impact because the groundwork for it has not been properly prepared.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
The notion of using the Iraq war as a backdrop for comedy is risky, but I'm sure there's someone who could pull it off. Sadly, Benigni isn't that someone.
european-films.net
Boyd van Hoeij
Despite a weaker narrative force in its middle section and without the feeling that we are watching something new, La tigre e la neve still works.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
[Benigni's] peculiar editing choices and snail's pace only increase the film's gnawing of creepy discomfort.
ComingSoon.net
Edward Douglas
Benigni's quest to find comedy in the Muslim world falls quite flat.
