"Pleasantville is one of the year's delights. It flies off the screen with a freshness and wonder that tickle you with the though that film itself is reborn, not just the characters in Gary Ross's allegorical fairy tale. The device Ross uses as springboard on behalf of passion and intensity — and the antinostalgic belief that you can't go back, only forward, is simply brilliant and brilliantly simple."
