Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's easy to enjoy what the cast does on screen; it's harder to buy the nutty mood swings and, as written, Gainsbourg's generic trainwreck of a character.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,

rotten:
"Samba" is loosely plotted and is at least 20 minutes too long. It seems ready to end half a dozen times before it finally does, with ironic payoffs for Samba and Alice that are too glib to be satisfying.
– Mark Jenkins,
Washington Post,
30 Jul 2015
fresh:
Gainsbourg and Sy play off each other wonderfully, emphasizing how these characters relate to each other as people; their scenes together feel emotionally honest even though one can barely imagine them happening in real life.
– Ben Sachs,

rotten:
"Samba" tries to be too many things to too many people, although you can't say it doesn't have heart.
– John Anderson,

rotten:
Unfortunately, the material flounders from the broadly farcical to the bombastically melodramatic.
