Ninotchka Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The romantic roundelay, linking fine emotions with fine lingerie, is shadowed by the brutality of Soviet tyranny.
The Nation
Franz Hoellering
This column has generally no quarrel with scene-to-scene entertainment, serving a legitimate demand for relaxation, though it adds up to nothing. But the entertaining gags of this picture add up to something, and it is not pleasant.
TIME Magazine
Whittaker Chambers
This one is neither crude clowning nor crude prejudice, but a literate and knowingly directed satire which lands many a shrewd crack about phony Five Year Plans, collective farms, Communist jargon and pseudo-scientific gab.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Matt Bailey
Ninotchka stands as one of the finest films Lubitsch made. It was reportedly one of the director's own favorites among his films, and it's easy to see why.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Great, but kids may need historical context.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
The masterpiece among Lubitsch's later films.
Film School Rejects
Cole Abaius
It's comedy is rooted in classic sentimentality, but the dialog is often hammer and sickle sharp.
Variety
Variety Staff
Selection of Ernst Lubitsch to pilot Garbo in her first light performance in pictures proves a bull's-eye.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The satire may be mostly a matter of easy contrasts, but the lovers inhabit a world of elegance and poise that is uniquely and movingly Lubitsch's.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's Garbo's next-to-last film and first American comedy.

Emanuel Levy
MGM announced to the world: Garbo Laughs! In a major departure from her screen image, Garbo brings incredibly sensual abandon to her role of a glum, scientifically trained Bolshevik envoy who succumbs to Parisian decadence of romance and champagne.
Las Vegas Review-Journal
Carol Cling
Garbo laughs ... and the rest of us revel in a comedy delight.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...thanks to Garbo, its supporting cast, and director Ernst Lubitsch's magic touch, it remains one of Hollywood's most sparkling products.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Garbo does laugh! Delightful political musings.
New York Times
Frank S. Nugent
One of the sprightliest comedies of the year.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Its legend isn't really justified, but it's good
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
one of Garbo's greatest hits, still a treat to watch
Boxoffice Magazine
While Ninotchka may lack something for the masses, it must be catalogued as a triumph for all concerned.
