Critic Reviews

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    Sometimes you're watching a bad movie, and you're like, 'Well, I'm still entertained,' so I'm recommending it on that sort of level.

  • Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    [Actress Mezzogiorno] finds the story's emotion by resisting the tug of the movie into grandeur.

  • Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

    Bardem's hypnotic presence, like that of an Easter Island statue come to life, is one of the film's many pleasures. As is its intimations of a love everlasting.

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

    There isn't an actor here who really connects.

  • Kyle Smith, New York Post

    If you've seen Gone With the Wind, you've seen what Love in the Time of Cholera isn't.

    A sort of tragic love tale of sorts, a long film, but as with most Javier Bardem films, there is a great quality to them. Whilst the storyline itself was a little one-dimensional (in a simplistic sort of way) the acting was not and it was a sincere tale of true love.

    Interesting movie, with good acting. <br/><br />Has some memorable scenes. <br/><br />Love in the Time of Cholera is a good movie, well made, nothing more.

  • Wahida K


    Love is a very weird thing.

  • Red L


    You would think this movie would work. Florentino finds his soul mate (Fermina) while just a kid, but her father will not bless the marriage, so Florentino waits 50 years while she marries, had kids and her husband dies before he courts Fermina once again. Using the same actor to… More
