Critics' reviews

"Every criticism I have read of this film would alter is fragile magic and reduce its romantic and tragic poignancy to the level of an instructional film (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"A startlingly original and beautiful pop reverie that comes very close to being transcendent."

Carina Chocano: Los Angeles Times
"The work of a mature filmmaker who has identified and developed a new cinematic vocabulary to describe a new breed of post-postpostfeminist woman."

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
"Just because the film's heroine has nothing to say about politics, revolutionary or otherwise, doesn't justify Coppola being similarly dumbstruck."

Dana Stevens: The New York Times
"Those willing to take the film on its own terms will be confronted with a portrait that, while perhaps unsettling in its revisionist sympathies, offers a valid provocation at a time when Americans are debating the costs of isolation"

Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post
"This is one of the most immediate, personal costume dramas ever made"

David Edelstein: New York Magazine
"This mightn't be food for the soul, but it is a pleasurable sugar rush."

Stella Papamichael: BBC
