Fading Gigolo | Ratings & Reviews

"While it’s fine for a film to stretch plausibility, it was still brave of John Turturro to cast himself here as a florist convinced to make a mid-life career change to gigolo. It was even bolder for him to enlist Sharon Stone, Sofia Vergara and Vanessa Paradis to play his prospective clients. Yet strangely it works, the beauty and magnetism of these women combining perfectly with their obvious enthusiasm for the project and the fun they are having with Turturro and each other to make their scenes charming and eminently convincing."

Flicks, Giles HardieFlicks

"Turturro brings sensitivity and intelligence to a subject that could have gone terribly awry in this wryly observant dramedy."

VarietyVariety

"The kind of keenly observed cultural clash that still finds room for dancing, a sultry fish-deboning (you just have to see it) and awakening."

Time OutTime Out

"A low-key, low-energy comedy. It gets better gradually, largely because of the appealing performers, including the amusingly frenetic Mr. Allen, who enlivens his every scene."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Turturro has given Allen his biggest and best on-screen turn in years: the part was written for him and it's full of scope for aimble kvetching and nimble slapstick."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"In making the story more marketing-friendly, [Turturro has] undermined its sweet soul."

The DissolveThe Dissolve

"A slight and increasingly unsatisfying movie"

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"An odd, sometimes funny, other times touching, always modest look at a strange bunch of New Yorkers."
