  "Woody Allen goes latin (you heard me), and the romantic, richly comic result — powered by a dream cast — is his sexiest movie ever."—Rolling StoneRolling Stone: Vicky Cristina Barcelona (August 21, 2008)

  "Bathed in light so lusciously golden and honeyed that you might be tempted to lick the screen, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a rueful comedy about two young American women who, during a summertime European idyll, savor many of the Continental delicacies that such travelers often take pleasure in: art, music, culture, yes, but also strange bodies and unexpected dreams."—New York TimesNew York Times: Vicky Cristina Barcelona Review (August 15, 2008)

  "But Cruz is the real treat. Always better in Spanish films than in American ones, she eliminates the empty chirpiness and has a ball.—New York Daily NewsNew York Daily News: Vicky Cristina Barcelona Review (August 14, 2008)
