What should be a soufflé of gender-bending mischief is more like a bowl of oatmeal.

It's a frothy romp played for the fun of it, and when the silliness dies down the pic can easily be forgotten.
01/24/03
A waste of talent.

For a while, the sheer exoticism of the characters and the setting provides a certain amount of interest, but the film's farcical situations, mostly involving the sexual orientation of its characters, ultimately prove tiresome.
03/24/03
Even the crackpot architectural genius of Antonio Gaudi cannot elevate this silly little farce of sexual confusion from director Susan Seidelman and writer James Myhre.

Top CriticThe trumped-up alley-to-plaza intrigue could use more smoke and less mirrors.
03/18/03
A mildly entertaining gender-bender comedy set in Barcelona, never quite lives up to its excellent cast or the onetime promise of director Susan Seidelman.
03/21/03
Top CriticThe 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.

A kooky, madcap adventure set in Barcelona devolves into a sort of sub -sub-Almodovar picture. Stay for the opening credits, then leave.

Top CriticAn emotionally and intellectually subtle work.

With a lovably quirky script, lovely production values and delightful performances by a strong cast, Gaudi Afternoon is Seidelman's best film yet.
03/22/03
Gaudi Afternoon is mostly dream, part nightmare, and part morality play surrounding the concept of mothering a young girl.
03/16/06
Although the ending briefly dips into some silly sentimentality, the film as a whole is liberated by Cassandra's sardonic charm and a madcap exploration of the mother-daughter nexus.
