Critics' reviews

"Not substantial and not nutritious, but sweet enough to remind you in passing of the good times you once had"

Jessica Kiang: The New York Times
"[It] doesn't reverse the tired creative slide of his recent work, but it's a painless diversion for the faithful."

Guy Lodge: Variety
"Despite fun turns from Wallace Shawn and Gina Gershon, Allen's latest trifle is a bizarre, muddled comedy."

Kaleem Aftab: IndieWire
"Even for the (very few) audiences still interested in watching a new Woody Allen movie, 'Rifkin's Festival' will be thoroughly underwhelming"

John Serba: Decider
"Allen may not have found any breakthrough inspiration, but Rifkin’s Festival at least has its riffs (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Jonathan Romney: The Guardian
"Paying tribute to the great European classics, Allen barely even attempts to move outside his own patented formula (...) 'Rifkin’s Festival' raises a polite smile, but never threatens anything more."

Fionnuala Halligan: Screendaily
"Woody Allen heads to San Sebastián, bringing with him his passion for travel, his neuroses and his love of (classic) film (...) A fitting addition to the Woody Allen franchise."

Alfonso Rivera: Cineuropa
