- 83The A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonThe A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonAt its best, Micmacs is a robust, enjoyably lunatic game. It's social commentary by way of a good Looney Tune.
- 80VarietyVarietyTurning the volume of his slapstick surreality down from 11 to 10, Gallic auteur Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Amelie") hits the sweet spot with Micmacs.
- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliMicmacs is an inventive romp punctuated by the kind of quirkiness Jeunet has brought to all his films.
