Critic Reviews

Marjorie Baumgarten

It makes virtually no sense, but the costumes are fetishistic gems and the set design trips the light fantastic. A camp classic. Read full review

Budd Wilkins

A rambling, shaggy-dog structure as an excuse to flagrantly foreground softcore sexual hijinks tinged with a pungent whiff of social commentary. Read full review

Edward Guthmann

Barbarella is a pure goof -- Vadim called it a kind of sexual Alice in Wonderland of the future -- and Fonda seems to have reveled in every sexy, campy moment. Read full review

Empire Kim Newman

Cheerful, kitsch and camp. Read full review

Keith Phipps

It’s at once smirky and tedious, and a missed opportunity to boot. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Comic-strip buffs, science-fiction fans and admirers of the human mammae will get a run for their money in Barbarella and will probably provide Barbarella with enough money for a run. Other moviegoers need take no notice. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Vadim's direction is pretty tedious, and his main aim seems to be titillation. Read full review

A funny, cheesy sci-fi comic book romp with a strong visual aesthetic. DDL did it better with Flash Gordon but this is still worth watching.
