Leave your thoughts about Chico & Rita.
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanA pure delight, a keenly affecting, visually ravishing tale. |
| AV ClubTasha RobinsonThe characters are simply rendered, but when it comes to capturing cities and scenes, the cinematography takes on the color and detail of a Mexican street mural. |
| MovielineStephanie ZacharekThis is the kind of sophisticated storytelling you rarely get even in live-action movies any more, full of unexpected turns and unruly human complications. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirA dazzling and delightful work of modernist animation, a classic movie romance and a hip-swinging, finger-popping tale of musical revolution, Chico & Rita is the first big serendipitous surprise of 2012. |
| New York PostLou LumenickChico and Rita beguiles first and foremost as a bebop romance that evokes a bygone era as well as, or maybe even better than, "The Artist." |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonIt works best as an evocative tribute of sorts to a specific musical time and place. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Hopefully, it will remind filmmakers that animation can be used to tell all kinds of stories. |
| Paste MagazineAnnlee EllingsonUnfortunately, an evocative setting--the evolution of Afro-Cuban jazz in Havana and New York--sets the stage for a rather slight romance. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA Spanish animated film for adults that is a real crowd-pleaser. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeThe images and the music -- and for that matter the story -- seem to belong together to create the vibrant whole of the film. |
