The CinePearl Take
Frake‑Waterfield’s direction leans heavily on atmospheric dread, letting the creaking wood of Pinocchio become a character in its own right. The film’s pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the audience to feel the suffocating weight of the puppet’s strings before the gore erupts. A standout performance comes from the voice actor who imbues the wooden protagonist with a haunting blend of innocence and menace, underscoring the film’s central theme of manufactured identity.
