Unabashedly theatrical and richly cinematic, even when it's falling apart...

Tetro is a movie filled with splashes of brilliance rather than being a plain brilliant movie.
David Jenkins, Time Out

Tetro is, in many ways, a thematic and spiritual cousin to Rumble Fish, another tale of an innocent who idolizes his older brother and craves his affection more than he should.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

What threatens to be a mere exercise in style proves to be as involving as it is inventive.
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

While Coppola seems revitalized by quoting from movies he studied at UCLA film school, what ultimately makes Tetro so compelling is the filmmaker's return to the motifs that made his 1970s films powerful.
