"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 memories. What more could you ask?" — Roger EbertRogerEbert.com: Vicky Cristina Barcelona Review (August 14, 2008)
"Watching Allen fart out a story when he has no characters is always painful, as people are defined through clumsy expository dialogue and ranked according to their cultural accomplishments." — Chicago ReaderChicago Reader: Vicky Cristina Barcelona Review (August 15, 2008)
