Gabriela Ratings & Reviews
Vogue
Molly Haskell
The exploration of the senses that was portrayed joyously in [Jorge] Amado's novel comes to seem exploitative in Bruno Barreto's movie.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Whenever the film wanders away from Gabriela, it seems to dawdle aimlessly before finding her again.
RogerEbert.com
Roger Ebert
There is no real chemistry between the bar owner and his wonderful lover, [so] even the most dedicated filmgoer is eventually reduced to waiting for what we used to call the good parts.
TV Guide
A soft-core porn film that tries to hide its carnality under the cover of Amado's book.
People Magazine
People Staff
The expected fireworks between Braga and Mastroianni, who usually can say more with a wink than most actors can say with a whole script, never happen.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A spicy drama that blends sex and social commentary on Brazilian mores.
