Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: There may be a few overly wistful moments here, but in the main it's an affecting portrait of a group of unlucky but resilient children.
Fresh: It's well worth seeking out for older kids who don't mind reading subtitles, their parents, and any adults who can appreciate a good story movingly and creatively told.
Fresh: It may not sound like it, but calling this barely 70-minute Swiss stop-motion film "heavy" - as in substantial and almost swollen with feeling - is a true compliment.
Fresh: Seeing the world through a child's eyes can be pretty eye-opening. Watching My Life as a Zucchini, the altogether marvelous and Oscar-nominated stop-action animated film by director Claude Barras, that world is one you will not soon forget.

Three cheers for Zucchini!
Saw this in theaters with my mother on Wednesday night and was absolutely blown away! Beautiful, passionate, melancholy, and true to itself, My Life as A Zucchini is definitely five stars in my book!
Why does the dubbed version get the special treatment?
Seriously iTunes? The English dubbed version has 5.1 sound but the original French dialogue (the way it's SUPPOSED to be viewed btw) only gets stereo? I'm cancelling my preorder and will buy the blu ray instead. Don't understand this idea that dubbing a film makes it better than reading subtitles. I bet iTunes only puts the French audio version in the iTunes Extras so you're forced to stream it.
Very good movie!
This claymation film is wonderful. The care that went into getting every emotion perfect is awesome. It's a very good story also. Definitely recommend it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
