Critic Reviews

Todd McCarthy

After examining the rarefied world of debutante socialites with wit and obvious expertise in “Metropolitan,” Stillman opens up his artistic universe a bit more here and displays an increased ease with filmmaking craf Read full review

Hal Hinson

Unlike “Metropolitan,” which for all its brittle wit seemed clunky and stagebound, Barcelona is sharply paced and alive on the screen. Read full review

Janet Maslin

Barcelona, like "Metropolitan," indulges in long, hair-splitting discussions without resorting to broad gags or worrying about wearing out its welcome. Read full review

Michael Snyder

There are moments of satirical humor sparked by Ted's stiff, earnest demeanor and Fred's glib, transparent conniving. Read full review

Roger Ebert

David Ansen

Stillman remains a deftly funny portrait painter of the young, willfully self-involved Anglo-Saxon male. Read full review

Brian Baker

Barcelona does have brief flashes of brilliance.... For the most part, however, Barcelona offers nothing much interesting beyond some beautiful scenery and generally annoying characters. Read full review
