Critic Reviews
-
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
This starts to get interesting in the homestretch, as the woman's chronic deception begins to catch up with her, but for the most part it's an extended Geritol commercial.
-
Dan Zak, Washington Post
Elsa & Fred feels not substantial enough to bear the weight of its themes. It dissolves like cotton candy, making proper digestion impossible.
-
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic
For some, the movie will be an emotional paean to love at the twilight of life; to others, though, it's a contrived, manipulative film calculatedly sentimental and -- except for poor Alfredo -- totally false to life.
-
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Elsa & Fred is worth seeing just to admire how Argentine writer-director Marcos Carnevale avoids so much as a whiff of condescension.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
A sweet but inconsequential romantic comedy.
