| Director: | Woody Allen |
| Actors: | Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, Patricia Clarkson, Rebecca Hall, Kevin Dunn, Chris Messina |
Two young American women, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) come to Barcelona for a summer holiday. Vicky is sensible and engaged to be married; Cristina is emotionally and sexually adventurous. In Barcelona, they're drawn into a series of unconventional romantic entanglements with Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), a charismatic painter, who is still involved with his tempestuous ex-wife Maria Elena (Penelope Cruz). Set against the luscious Mediterranean sensuality of Barcelona, Vicky Cristina Barcelona is Woody Allen's funny and open-minded celebration of love in all its configurations.

Good golly this movie is extremely over-rated. Avoid.

Mixed feelings about this one. Spain-Barcelona-Gaudi provide lots of eye candy, beautifully filmed. Narrator (channelling Woody Allen) doesn't work for me. Cruz gives a sterling performance as the unhinged ex-wife of the artist.. But ....

This was a great film. While nothing overly exciting ever happens it does keep your attention as the characters love lives spiral out of control. While the acting seems forced in some scenes i think the writing and characters are very believable. The film is stunning to look at with scenes of Barcelona in the summer, looks great in Blu-ray.

A fantastic little film, not your usual Woody Allen schtick. Cruz steals the show with a terrific performance - Highly recommended.
