Reviews for this film from our members:
- José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
- Excerpt: John Turturro vuelve al modo multitarea delante y detrás de las cámaras con una comedia que parece mucho más loca de lo que realmente es. Una propuesta extraña, con momentos divertidos, pero que necesita encontrar su público.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: A charming, funny and oddball drama about a gentle, quiet, and sensitive florist who knows how to give women pleasure.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Fading Gigolo’s dialogue, situations and jazz soundtrack all scream Woody Allen, but it’s essential sweet sexiness is all Turturro.
- Carlos del Río @ El rincón de Carlos del Río [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Sosa y a medio construir.
- Candice Frederick @ Reel Talk
- Kenji Fujishima @ Slant Magazine
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a film that looks more like the filmmaker’s midlife-crisis wish-fulfillment fantasy than this one.
- Marty Mapes @ Movie Habit
- Excerpt: Turturro’s ensemble comedy/drama makes the unlikely, pluasible
- [New – 5/29/14] | Matthew McKernan @ FilmWhinge
- Excerpt: Fading Gigolo doesn’t make much sense and it is laughably narcissistic in a way that could be forgiven if it wasn’t so unashamedly so. But its major crime is that it isn’t funny when it really could have been.
- Jonathan Richards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
- Excerpt: With John Turturro writing, directing, and starring, and Woody Allen in a featured role and hovering in the creative background as éminence grise, this is several movies wrapped up in one, and most of them are pretty good.
- Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: It sure seems hard to make a movie about a threesome involving Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara uninteresting and devoid of excitement, but it manages to do so. That’s the real accomplishment of Fading Gigolo.
- Andrew Wyatt @ Look/Listen (St. Louis Magazine)
- Excerpt: The film’s tone is one of low-key japing and autumnal melancholy, but no one could mistake Fading Gigolo for a profound study of contemporary longing.
