What are critics saying?

TV Guide Magazine by

Vadim's direction is pretty tedious, and his main aim seems to be titillation.

San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann

Barbarella is a pure goof -- Vadim called it a kind of sexual Alice in Wonderland of the future -- and Fonda seems to have reveled in every sexy, campy moment.

The A.V. Club by Keith Phipps

It’s at once smirky and tedious, and a missed opportunity to boot.

Empire by Kim Newman

Cheerful, kitsch and camp.

Austin Chronicle by Marjorie Baumgarten

It makes virtually no sense, but the costumes are fetishistic gems and the set design trips the light fantastic. A camp classic.
