A straight-laced Spanish man falls in love with a young foreigner.

We'd gladly give ourselves over to the literate if chatty script and the generous helpings of Bulgarian beefcake, but our interest flags the moment Biba puts his clothes back on.

L.A. Weekly by Chuck Wilson

For his first feature in 15 years, Spanish filmmaker Eloy de la Iglesia has made a witty, unsentimental class comedy.

Variety by David Stratton

Full of charm, entertaining enough as it unfolds, good looking, but not especially memorable in retrospect.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

De la Iglesia's years of filmmaking experience are obvious in the film's formal touches -- his transitions between scenes and time frames are smooth and very stylish.

New York Post by Megan Lehmann

The gay sex scenes that punctuate Eloy de la Iglesia's limp Spanish comedy, Bulgarian Lovers, are frequent and graphic, and it often seems as if the lackluster story exists solely to showcase them.

The New Republic by Stanley Kauffmann

Eloy de la Iglesia, who directed Bulgarian Lovers, has a light and witty touch, reminiscent of his countryman Pedro Almodóvar...But he needed a better screenplay.
