Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
One of the sprightliest comedies of the year.

fresh:
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.

Selection of Ernst Lubitsch to pilot Garbo in her first light performance in pictures proves a bull's-eye.

fresh:
Ninotchka is delicate flirtation and political satire made into a perfect whole, and a reminder of skills that studio writers have largely lost.

fresh:
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.
