6 / 10
Translated from swedish: The scene is set in Barcelona and its surroundings, and the main roles are played by, among others, the hotties Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem. Love entanglements on the verge of farce.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: Penélope Cruz is magnificent (moreover, she outshines Johansson) and the newcomer Hall is intriguing. In addition, Javier Bardem's pickup lines are of a rare gifted kind.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: Woody Allen's films are seldom or never bad, but he sometimes makes mid-range films that entertain for the moment but don't really stick. If the drama Match Point belongs to the category of masterpieces with its moral question, then "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is a more easily digestible candy that entertains through environments, witty lines, and situations.

4 / 10
Translated from swedish: Despite an impressive cast, Oscar winner Woody Allen does not succeed in turning the norms of a romantic comedy upside down. It's repetitive and the self-irony is difficult to understand.
- Mattias LöfrothSwedish: A bit messy, quite frankly

Translated from swedish: The soon to be 73-year-old Woody Allen is more vibrant than ever. His forty-third film has turned out to be one of his very best, a desperately dark and intoxicatingly light romantic comedy.
- Jan SöderqvistSwedish: Beautiful and lost love
-
No Rating
Translated from swedish: It's funny, sexy, engaging, very well acted. An intellectual slamming-doors farce set in one of the world's most beautiful cities.

Translated from swedish: Very good acting performances by Javier Bardem and Scarlett Johansson, but the film is truly stolen by Penelope Cruz who is absolutely fantastic in this movie. One of Woody Allen's better ones.

Translated from swedish: The old recipe still goes down quite nicely, even the rather cheap narrating voice – the sun-drenched yellow-tinted images and the beautiful women fill out the actually novella-thin story of American women who find love and themselves among Gaudi's tiles.

Translated from swedish: For an Allen fan, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is a welcome film if you have missed the old, "dirty", Woody. The movie is not one of his strongest but bodes well for the return to New York in next year's "Whatever Works".

Translated from swedish: "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is Woody Allen's return to top form after a couple of really weak films.

1. Dagens Nyheter
Translated from swedish: Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is both an erotic bedroom farce and a red wine-infused love letter to Barcelona
