The Word On... Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."The film wouldn't work without its superb acting quartet. Johansson, the latest Allen muse, gives her best performance for him as the capricious Cristina... Yet fittingly it's the Iberian contingent who really shine." - Leigh Singer, www. channel4.com/film
"A lovely, empty Spanish travelogue. Per Mr Allen's own musings, 'I have no profound things to say about love.' Gee, Mr Allen, after all this time, honestly? Nothing at all?" - Kimberly Gadette, www.indiemoviesonline.com
"No amount of pretty scenery can conceal the tedium of these boring characters going about their boring and predictable business whilst yammering away in the patented, glib "Woody Allen" patter." - Gregory Weinkauf, www.ubercine.com
"Though it's tempting to dismiss 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' as an indulgent male fantasy, with Bardem controlling the fates and libidos of three beautiful women, Allen clouds the situation with a persistent romantic pessimism." - Scott Tobias, www.avclub.com
