Leave your thoughts about Cantinflas.
| Cine PremiereJorge Iván MoralesMore interested in being emotionally tru than just settling for the conventional biopic tropes. [Full review in Spanish] |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigCantinflas is a nostalgic, occasionally schlocky, look at the Mexican icon. While a substantial number of scenes are heavy-handed, the actor who plays Cantinflas— Óscar Jaenada — is a standout. |
| La Nación (Argentina)Diego BatlleThis take on Moreno's life is simple and superficial, with on the nose dialogue, and gestures and looks that over explain everything. [Full review in Spanish] |
| ProcesoFausto PonceFeels like a bad cartoon of the real Cantinflas. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyCantinflas the movie tries to capture the magic of this much-loved legend, and it does so in fits and starts. |
| Village VoiceSimon AbramsCantinflas wears viewers down with earnest hero worship. |
| El Pais (Spain)Javier OcañaA rancid narrative, with a simple sketch of the figure of a great popular film comedian. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreA historically interesting story is painted in broad, colorless strokes, alternating as it does between soap opera and slapstick. |
| RogerEbert.comAaron AradillasThe result, I’m afraid, is a big disappointment, a disjointed mess that tries to create a point-counterpoint narrative with these two savvy showmen, which inevitably tips the scales in favoring one of them. The problem is, it’s not the one you think. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJonathan HollandCantinflas hops from cliche to cliche with lazy thoughtlessness. |
