Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A small, honest comedy about passion, movies and love, so human that it leaves a bittersweet aftertaste that may soften the laughter and provoke some reflection.
– Pablo Izmirlian,

fresh:
It works, but just barely (no pun intended, considering all the nudity).
– Michael O'Sullivan,

rotten:
The narrative eventually runs out of steam. But writer-director Pablo Berger maintains a lighthearted tone.
– Jeff Strickler,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
23 Jun 2005
fresh:
As a first feature-length effort for Berger, Torremolinos 73 shows promise of a director with a humane touch, with or without the extra skin.

fresh:
Torremolinos isn't perfect, but it stands as an amusing entry into the world of art-house cinema.
