Gaudy, more integrated than later Fellini, but this take on feminine psyche lacks vision.

A dazzling technical achievement, from the color to the tracking shots that delight in running down every detail of Juliet's companions.

despite Fellini's indulgences, much of the film works largely due to Giulietta Masina's fine performance
03/17/02
Despite Fellini's best efforts to make her seem dull, Masina anchors the film with her clear-eyed portrayal.
06/13/01
Fellini stands on the brink, desperately grabbing at bits of his past, and boldly looking forward to a new future of decadence and garish color (this was his first in color).
06/13/01
The movie that swirls around Masina is a dazzling -- and, for some, incoherent -- production deep into the feminine psyche.

At once an eye-popping display of bravura and a work of compassionate insight.

Top CriticA mad, resplendent peacock of a film, a cinematographic riot of color and sensuality that evokes its era -- the swinging mid-'60s -- as much as any movie made during those giddy years.

Surreal and, yes, haunting.
06/12/04
It never less than dazzling to look at.

Top CriticFellini went deliriously and brilliantly bananas with the color to create a rollicking through-the- looking-glass series of tableaus evoking a woman's troubled psyche.
05/23/01
Top CriticThe film is just wonderfully ... well, Fellini-esque.

Creative detritus

Visually splendid piece of eye candy that hides behind its gaudy exteriors an emptiness and lack of vision.
