The Beautiful Days Of Aranjuez's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
"Perhaps not surprisingly, and despite the skillful actors, camerawork and offbeat musical choices, the result is rarefied art cinema that will have as much trouble finding an audience as the two characters do finding some equilibrium in their outlooks."
The Guardian
"'The Beautiful Days of Aranjuez' is an inert and exasperatingly supercilious two-hander: self-conscious, tedious, with a dated and cumbersome theatricality, tricked out in a 3D presentation that adds nothing to its dull stereoscopic tableaux of an idealised French garden outside Paris."
Indiewire
"'The Beautiful Days of Aranjuez' is not a good movie. It's not a good movie, and at the same time, it doesn't fail so spectacularly so to provide a compelling secondary reading. It's neither good nor so bad it's good; it is just ploddingly, achingly dull."
Variety
"After 90 minutes of dense, ceaseless conversation on a largely unnavigable sequence of topics from first sexual experiences to the cultivation of wild gooseberries, the last thing any viewer really wants to hear is, "We have been here in vain""
