From its very first scenes, Mr. Whedon’s film crackles with a busy, slightly wayward energy that recalls the classic romantic sparring of the studio era.

After a night of hard partying, Vicente ends up in a desperate fight for freedom after his friend, the son of a powerful politician, falsely accuses him of a hit-and-run. Vicente claims innocence, but he was drunk and high. A tangled thriller where a web of lies buries the truth—based on true Chilean scandal.

Chicago Sun-Times by Nell Minow
Joss Whedon’s take on Shakespeare’s classic tale is swanky, sexy and sophisticated, as bracing as a dry martini poured from a silver shaker on a summer night.

Would the magic hold? The magic holds. It holds from beginning to end.

Its off-the-cuff nature makes for a film that is not flawless – the music is a bit daft, and some of the acting a little too “large” for the intimate setting – but is, from beginning to end, delightful.

New York Magazine (Vulture) by David Edelstein
The movie’s singular acting triumph is Nathan Fillion’s Constable Dogberry, one of Shakespeare’s simpler buffoons made poetic by understatement. Fillion speaks softly, with uninflected sincerity, a brilliant departure from the standard gregarious-hambone Dogberry. It’s his insularity — his imperviousness to the interjections of more observant people — that makes him such a touchingly credible clown.

The first filmed Shakespeare comedy in decades that’s actually funny.

Finally! A romantic comedy that works. And not just because of Shakespeare.

Boston Globe by Ty Burr
Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing is just about the sloppiest Shakespeare ever put on the screen. It may also be the most exhilarating — a profound trifle that reminds you how close Shakespeare’s comedies verge on darkness before pirouetting back into the light.

The A.V. Club by A.A. Dowd
So kudos to the cast of Much Ado About Nothing, Joss Whedon’s scrappy, snappy take of one of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies. With little exception, the players assembled here — most of them veterans of the Whedonverse — pull off that difficult balancing act with gusto.

Christian Science Monitor by Peter Rainer
I enjoyed Whedon’s film both as a species of stunt and also as a legitimately entertaining entry in the voluminous Shakespeare adaptation sweepstakes.
