Critics' reviews

"Movies often turn on slender notions worked up to look like full-fledged ideas. Once in a while, though, a notion will be fertile to begin with, a self-renewing source of delight. That's the case with Luc Besson's 'Angel-A'."

Joe Morgenstern: The Wall Street Journal
"Besson is so brilliant with his visuals that you desperately want the story, and the characters, to make some kind of emotional sense. This, however, does not happen."

Steven Rea: Philadelphia Inquirer
"Attractive black-and-white 'Scope compositions, strong Paris locations, and effective handling of the actors makes this captivating throughout."

Jonathan Rosenbaum: Chicago Reader
"The movie might have been more tolerable had Besson searched harder for a performer and not a specimen. Barbara Stanwyck in her prime might have made more sense."

Wesley Morris: Boston Globe
"Its strongest asset is the stunningly poetic cinematography by Thierry Arbogast."

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"'Angel-A' is an intriguing film, but more of an interesting failure than an offbeat success."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"A black-and-white fantasia shot against a bright backdrop of famous sites, and it has potential to be a cult hit on its dreamy-hipster look alone."

Kyle Smith: New York Post
