Seattle Post-Intelligencer Bill White
A proud and optimistic testament to the youthful spirit of seniors who refuse to let such a trifle as their failed lives get in the way of a bit of fun.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Bill Gallo
The bittersweet charm of this extraordinary film is trumped only by its wisdom. Without resorting to schmaltz or sticky pathos, director Vladimír Michálek (a child of 49) fashions an allegory about aging, friendship and love that equals (and often surpasses) the best American movies on those tricky subjects, from "Cocoon" to "On Golden Pond."
Read Full Review >Variety Eddie Cockrell
The trio is so individually and collectively charismatic that the film eventually neglects fully fleshed-out narrative in favor of sublime characterization.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
Mr. Brodsky's final screen performance in one of his richest roles finds overlapping layers of humor and pathos.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
Though the story line seems grim at times, it's always made lighter by Brodsky's gentle, often hilarious presence.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
This wistfully charming slice-of-life comedy celebrates an elderly man defiantly thumbing his nose at old age.
Read Full Review >ReelViews James Berardinelli
The film will almost certainly speak most strongly to those viewers whose age approximates those of the characters, but the narrative and performances are strong enough to involve anyone who gives this motion picture a chance.
Read Full Review >New York Post V.A. Musetto
The result is a charming mix of Walter Mitty and "About Schmidt."
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Brodsky's last film before his death is a moving tribute to his career.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Walter Addiego
Gains depth from subtle dark humor and a few genuinely emotional moments
Read Full Review >Village Voice David Ng
The reconciliatory finale comes with a sad footnote: Czech New Wave veteran Brodsky killed himself shortly after the film was released in his native country - an eerie rebuke to the movie's spunky and life-affirming vision of old age.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Marta Barber
Despite Fanda's shenanigans, and many are out-loud funny, Autumn Spring is not that uplifting though it isn't a downer, either. It's more an ode to friendship and marriage.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
Provides a compassionate look at problems of old age that Hollywood rarely bothers to treat seriously.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps
A mud bath of sentiment, strained speechifying, and gloppy music.

Helen W. gave it a 9:
The acting totally blew me away, it was so understated and so finely directed. The married couple were absolutely perfect.
Joe R. gave it a 10:
A wonderfully warm and insightful look, in a novel geriatric ambiance, at the pleasures and pains of life, marriage and friendship.
Ted K. gave it a 10:
I love that movie so much. Thanks.
Alex B. gave it a 10:
Just great.
William von G. gave it a 10:
Very subtle. If you like hollynegger flicks its not for you (go away please). He was a great actor.
Vinni D. gave it a 0:
The acting for the most part was strained, the directing seemed amateurish, the theme too obvious, and the film had exactly one likable character and that was not the protagonist.
