Leave your thoughts about Falling for Figaro.
| Original-CinThom ErnstFalling for Figaro is a small story about big dreams that soft-peddles through familiar territory. Figaro can be as fluffy as the fur on a blow-dried angora cat but it scores big on its ready-and willing-to-please charm. |
| RogerEbert.comRoxana HadadiIt’s a testament to Macdonald and Skinner that they inject chemistry into their characters’ underwritten pairing. Their performances are what make “Falling for Figaro” an entertaining distraction, even as the film plays out exactly as you would expect. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeExpect no surprises in Falling for Figaro, a corny, cute-enough carpe diem comedy, in which it’s a lovable ensemble — led by Danielle Macdonald, and spiked by a deliciously imperious Joanna Lumley — that brings the grace notes to a pretty standard-issue script. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckLewin and co-screenwriter Allen Palmer don’t exactly raise the dramatic stakes very high. The formulaic storyline fails to sustain interest, not helped by the sluggish pacing and predictable gags and characterizations. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe movie is also notable for featuring not just one but two unconvincing romantic dynamics. |
| The New York TimesBeatrice Loayza[A] thoroughly generic and often monotonous romance. |
