Film Threat by

Even with its over-the-top performances, Gaudi Afternoon is an emotionally and intellectually subtle work.

Variety by Deborah Young

Silly, childish fun and as relaxing to watch as good American TV fiction -- and with a very similar world view.

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

Beautifully photographed and fitfully amusing, Gaudi Afternoon would be an impressive film from a first-timer, but Seidelman is experienced enough to know she should have told the actors not to camp things up so excessively.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

The offbeat cast and gorgeous Barcelona locations can't quite make up for the thinness of the mystery and forced quirkiness of the characters and their tangled relationships.
