Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

adonis98-743-186503 A harried movie director retreats into his memories and fantasies. 8½ will definitely please viewers that are fans of slow movies and black and white and general and believe me there's some terrific black and white movies alongside terrific films who are somewhere around 2 and 3 hours long it's just that this film ain't one of those films. I found myself not being invested to any of the characters, the dialogue was pretty bad and the acting not too far behind and overall it's not a film that really deserves to be on this list guys i'm sorry. (0/10)

catfishbillybuddy I won't say too much, because every possible thing to say, has been said millions of times. This is a top 10 Movie of all time and if you love movies, this is a MUST.

leandro216 A movie with no story. A full immersion into the memories and the psychological face of the director. The great idea is that Fellini after the success of "La Dolce Vita" didn't know what to do. So he made a movie talking about a Director who has a lack of inspiration. After that we can appreciate the surreal scenes from the beginning to the end. This is one of my favourite movie, even if there isn't a specific reason. I dislike the character of Mastroianni, the typical snooty Italian intellectual, but the way Fellini, directs the dreams is so gorgeous. I think he is inspired of the Welles's way of moving the camera. Cinema of the Dream, from Bergam to Lynch, from Chaplin to Antonioni, this is one of the best example.

nymisael Well, i think this is my favorite movie from Fellini, because hit me in the topics that i like. I like to see when the dreams or things related to these are very important in a movie, (remember Mulholland Dr.), in many parts of the movie is difficult to recognize what is a dream and what is the real life of the protagonist. The story of this movie is really good, but bizarre, and for me it was very enjoyable. This movie was a unexpected journey in how strong are the feelings in the life of the protagonist, i think the movie develops from this point, but this is an atypical movie because the way it is told, the dreams tell us what is really the protagonist, and see the mix between dreams, real life and feelings in the story is simple and awesome. This is my first review in IMDb, and i hope be useful.
