October 29, 2009I tried really hard to dislike this artsy romance - incredibly sexy people agonising about love and life's purpose. Bardem's character in particular suavely talks his way into all the womens' beds but I couldn't help but like him ........bastard. Its so detached from any sense of...( read more)

October 1, 2009Not one of Woody Allen's best but certainly not his worst! Actually, I quite liked it. He picket a great cast (well half a great cast) and kept it simple and beautiful. The main annoyance I have with this film is the voice over/narration. Its lazy and unnecessary but the pretenti...( read more)

August 15, 2009The one thing I wasn't thrilled about was the narrator. He was kinda cheesy and distracting at times. Cruz was amazing in this, and I typically don't care for her.

August 7, 2009A Hillarious woody-allen sex-romp. But really it's Penelope Cruz's show in a career best perfromance as the crazy ex-wife Maria Elena.

July 19, 2009Finally a Woody Allen film I enjoyed! Vicky Cristina Barcelona is an enjoyable comedy with great cinematography and even the narrator is quite humorous. Bardem shines, Johansson and Hall play their respective roles nicely, and Cruz just steels the show. Worth a view just to se...( read more)

February 5, 2010Cruz, Bardem, and Johansson. They are the trio who delivered one of the best films I have ever seen. If you want to see Cruz at her most insane moments, catch this film. Even if you hate any of the actors, the view alone will make up for what you think is utter rubbish. :p

February 1, 2010Not as good as I expected. Scarlett is still good eye-candy though, but she can't act if her life depended on it.

January 25, 2010I like this new passion for Europa that Woody has development, I love Barcelona, very god Photography, the characters are, of course, artist, Barden is perfect and even Penelope was good, I though the contrary, anyway... good history, good movie.

January 21, 2010I wish Penelope Cruz was my wife... We'd have many babies.
My first Woody Allen film!

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
When great artists maintain their health and energy into their 70s, amazing things can happen -- and they're happening with Woody Allen. full review

Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com
As usual, Allen works simply and quickly getting the most out of his rich and wry screenplay, a witty dissertation of the left turns our love lives can so easily take. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
As exhilarating, captivating and enjoyable as a summer romance in an exotic city. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
He is a little like Eric Rohmer here. The actors are attractive, the city is magnificent, the love scenes don't get all sweaty, and everybody finishes the summer a little wiser and with a lifetime of ... full review

While the territory is familiar, the terrain is new: Allen shoots his title city with an eye for its art and architecture. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
Despite the big budget and name stars, Vicky Cristina Barcelona shows Allen's 98th film stumbling into mumblecore, fumbling with love and class like a spoiled brat who's never seen a Rohmer, Malle, Re... full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
In this light-comic breeze of a movie, Cruz is a gathering storm. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Given its particulars, Vicky Cristina Barcelona ought to have been an eye-roller. What a surprise that it's so seductive. full review
