Leave your thoughts about Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench.
| Sly FoxKam WilliamsA tribute befitting Boston, readily comparable to Woody Allen's bittersweet homage to his own beloved Manhattan. Appreciate Damien Chazelle now and avoid the rush! |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunIt's meandering, whimsical and definitely different. |
| NPRIan BuckwalterIf John Cassavetes had directed a jazz musical by Jacques Demy, it might have looked something like this. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenOne of the most underproduced musicals of this or any other year. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanGuy and Madeline is at once self-conscious and breezy, clumsy and deft, diffident and sweet, annoying and ecstatic. It's amateurish in the best sense, and it radiates cinephilia. No movie I've seen this year has given me more joy. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeGuy and Madeline is a decidedly modern film, whose frightened, impulsive, charming characters could walk into our lives tomorrow. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisVisually distinctive and aurally delightful, "Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench" has style to burn. A soulful black-and-white commentary on love, art and their competing demands, this Boston-based musical from Damien Chazelle floats on a wave of spontaneity and charm. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzStrongly influenced by Demy's Umbrellas of Cherbourg. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisNot only does the movie look like it's set somewhere, it feels, cinematically, to have arrived from someplace - early John Cassavetes, the French New Wave, Eastern Europe. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenGuy and Madeline on a Park Bench has more ambition than its talent can possibly live up to, but it’s an invigorating experience nonetheless. |
