Jessica Reaves, Chicago Tribune: Writer/director Pablo Berger has crafted a thoroughly winning and surprisingly thought-provoking story. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: Torremolinos 73 goes overboard with the movie within a movie gag. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: It's a bawdy farce done with real delicacy, a charming adult comedy that ends up with unlooked-for emotional heft. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: As a first feature-length effort for Berger, Torremolinos 73 shows promise of a director with a humane touch, with or without the extra skin. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Torremolinos 73 has the dubious distinction of being just about the mildest porno comedy ever made. It's like something the teenage Pedro Almodovar might have written to shock his 10th-grade creative writing teacher. Read more
Kim Morgan, L.A. Weekly: The picture rarely delves into how personally (perhaps even politically) revolutionary the couple's new life has become, making its subject matter more lackluster than it has any right to be. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: The premise of Torremolinos '73, written and directed with a surprising measure of heart by Pablo Berger, is funnier in the contemplation than the execution. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Torremolinos 73 successfully moves past the grainy closeups to show us love and even innocence. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: A highly amusing folly, rendered with a surprisingly gentle affection. Read more
Dana Stevens, New York Times: A joyous celebration of sex and filmmaking. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: A cheerfully amoral fable. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The narrative eventually runs out of steam. But writer-director Pablo Berger maintains a lighthearted tone. Read more
Jonathan Holland, Variety: Somewhat wacky tale, based on real events, is kept anchored in reality through attention to detail and by first-rate central perfs. Read more
Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice: Impotent. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: It works, but just barely (no pun intended, considering all the nudity). Read more
Pablo Izmirlian, Washington Post: A small, honest comedy about passion, movies and love, so human that it leaves a bittersweet aftertaste that may soften the laughter and provoke some reflection. Read more
