Top Critics Reviews

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.

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.

fresh:
A pure delight, a keenly affecting, visually ravishing tale.

"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.

When a place and its people are this stylish, we can't help but be drawn to them.
