"Chico & Rita" is that rare thing, a cartoon for adults, with a bittersweet take on love and fate and a romantic's view of the night.
John Anderson, Newsday
Fresh
A pure delight, a keenly affecting, visually ravishing tale.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Fresh
A buttery rich animated tale of love, jazz, showbiz, fame and politics in the late '40s and early '50s that is as catchy as its tunes.
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
When a soundtrack this fluidly elegant is married to trite dialogue, thin characterizations, and chockablock animation, it has to go down as a missed opportunity.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
