The film is ugly on so many levels -- from art direction to human values -- that it's hard to know where to begin.

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.
Variety Staff, Variety
Rotten
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.
Renata Adler, New York Times

It's fun in a 'What were they smoking?' kind of way.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh
Fonda looks sensational and glides through this romp like a dazed, ripe-to-the- touch innocent.
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
