Barbarella Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Charles Champlin
Vadim had chosen to be risqué, not risky, preposterous not profound, and he has succeeded.
Miami Herald
George Bourke
Strictly for sophisticated adults, please.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Will Jones
It easily ranks with the best of the "Batman" TV episodes for high-style mindless nonsense.
New York Daily News
Ann Guarino
Fonda does have acting talent and throws her comic lines with an excellent sense of timing.
Oregonian
Ted Mahar
There might be some satirical point in some of the episodes, but it would be hard to imagine what it might be.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Don McDowell
Don't believe for an instant that Barbarella is aimed at the social consciousness crowd.
Detroit Free Press
Susan Stark
It all sums up to ninety-eight minutes of weird, wild, wonderful fun, with a few deliciously chilling shudders thrown in for good measure.
Chicago Tribune
Clifford Terry
A squadron of writers [eight including the director] has only created a corporate sloppiness... what Vadim intended as kooky Kubrick, instead is about as fascinating as that 10-year-old piece of unconscious camp: Zsa Zsa Gabor's Queen of Outer Space.
Buffalo News
Terry Doran
Might be more enjoyable if it were broken up into short episodes and shown once a week.
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
So, the picture is nota bore. But much of it does not come off because of tepid script, uninspired direction and indifferent work by a good cast.
Charlotte Observer
Dick Banks
An unevenly conceived but refreshing adult fantasy.
Boston Globe
Marjory Adams
The story is as silly and as unmelodramatic as can possibly be imagined; the acting is incredibly uninspired, and the "put-on" turns into a bog, elaborately staged bore.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Geurink
The colors pinwheel and the chasms beckon and Miss Fonda's journey seems to be an acid trip -- with the acid being pure satire -- the same stuff Bunyan and Jonathan Swift used.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Dickson Terry
What it all sums up to is that Barbarella is just silly enough to be occasionally funny.
Slant Magazine
Budd Wilkins
Barbarella remains a stylish time capsule of that tumultuous era, as well as a trippily designed bit of retrofuturism.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The film is ugly on so many levels -- from art direction to human values -- that it's hard to know where to begin.
Variety
Variety Staff
Despite a certain amount of production dash and polish and a few silly-funny lines of dialog, Barbarella isn't very much of a film.
New York Times
Renata Adler
Throughout the movie, there is the assumption that just mentioning a thing (sex, politics, religion) makes it funny and that mentioning it in some offensive context makes it funnier.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A camp classic.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Fonda looks sensational and glides through this romp like a dazed, ripe-to-the- touch innocent.
