Angel-A Reviews
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Besson's dialogue is often inane, occasionally sounding like it is copied verbatim out of a new age self-help manual.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
You desperately want the story, and the characters, to make some kind of emotional sense. This, however, does not happen.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
[The] plot is warmed-over Capra, and it's no wonderful-life yarn.
Arizona Republic
Robert W. Butler
... a visually sumptuous, dramatically inert fable ...
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
Luc Besson returns to his roots in this delightful, funny and stylish fantasy. Shot in gloriously crisp black and white, it's also a bit of a throwback to the French New Wave for its technique and dazzling location vignettes across Paris.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Besson's black-and-white angel fantasy is a weak homage to Wings of Desire, if that's what he was shooting for.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Angel-A is all icky fantasy.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jim Emerson
The movie doesn't aspire to be anything but a lightweight pastiche that rehashes your memories of other, better movies.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
We all have our own view of paradise, but as long as Besson has Arbogast, his camera and those surreal bare Parisian streets, his schlocky heaven enchants the eye, if not the mind.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The overall experience of the movie is of something fresh. And while it inhabits a pretty rough world, of Parisian gangsters and loan sharks, the film has a warm spirit.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Still, I'm willing to give the multitalented filmmaker a break and give his latest concoction an ever so slight recommendation.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
An ultimately dull nonaffair.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
Familiar situations and trite dialogue give this movie the feel of something freeze-dried and reconstituted.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Counterfeit art-house chic writ large -- a French film that fails to produce the ineffable charms of the yesteryear movies it brazenly imitates.
UGO
Brian Tallerico
For many people, including me, the visual virtuosity behind Angel-A will be more than enough to get them over the storytelling bumps and the character inconsistencies.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
[Besson's] attractive black-and-white 'Scope compositions, strong Paris locations, and effective handling of the actors makes this captivating throughout, and wholly undeserving of the drubbing it's received from many critics.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Even though it looks like art, it plays like schlock.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Visually arresting but flawed. Its strongest asset is the stunningly poetic cinematography by Thierry Arbogast.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
If Besson's eye is Angela, though, his writing is Andre: awkward, misshapen and earthbound. Andre must learn a lesson in self-esteem that would have embarrassed Capra -- maybe even Oprah.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
The beautiful black-and-white photography -- and disappointingly sappy ending -- are the only remotely sober elements here, thanks to Besson's loopy script and Debbouze's very funny turn as a loser who simply can't believe his luck.
