Critic Reviews
-
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Overall, Casanova is silly but amusing.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The whimsical plot, involving Casanova's seduction of a cross-dressing feminist, isn't helped by director Lasse Hallstrom's leaden hand.
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
The sticky sweet stuff in the middle traps history's greatest lover and slows the whole affair to a crawl.
-
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Despite its oh-so deviant title character, Casanova is a harmless bon-bon, a breezy period farce that mimics lesser Shakespeare and a look that recalls Amadeus or Shakespeare in Love.
-
Tom Long, Detroit News
A ribald, witty costume comedy filled with delightful performances and wily plot turns, this is the sort of film that makes you wonder why more films like this aren't made.
