Love in the Time of Cholera Reviews

The Mahalo Top 7

The New Yorker: Love in the Time of Cholera Review
- "It’s a well-crafted, handsome period piece, and pleasant to watch, but the intensity of an obsessional style is beyond [director] Newell’s range"
Cinema Signals: Love In the Time of Cholera Review
- "Artfully couched in surreal absurdity, its ironies are designed to question the contradictions and weaknesses of entrenched traditions."
Compuserve.com: Love in the Time of Cholera Review
- "Seamlessly mixes campy comedy with sentimental romance: an epic film based on a Nobel Prize winner's novel."

The Hollywood Reporter: Love in the Time of Cholera Review
- "Handsomely appointed but disappointing."
Slant Magazine: Love in the Time of Cholera Review
- "Would that Newell's visual panache were as robust as his understanding of the novel's romantic implications, but what the film lacks in brio it makes up for in reverence."
EmmanuelLevy.com: Love in the Time of Cholera Review
- "Mike Newell's version of Gabriel Garcia Marquez highly acclaimed erotic novel is one of his worst films: listless, poorly mounted, badly scripted by Ronald Harwood, and weakly acted, even by such pros as Javier Bardem."
ColeSmithey.com: Love in the Time of Cholera Review
- "The famed 1985 magical realist novel of Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez gets an ambitious but off-key cinematic adaptation that trips up except in the casting of Javier Bardem as its romantically enthusiastic protagonist."
