Review: Vicky Cristina Barcelona

A really good looking film - and I'm not just talking about the cast, as the beautiful settings of Barcelona sparkle throughout.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona has warmth and wit to it that always makes it watchable - mainly thanks to Penelope Cruz who comes in and steals the show as the fiery Maria Elena just as things start to get too repetitive.

In the end it seems somewhat fitting that a film partly about trying to find out what you really love is one that lures you in by being easy on the eye, but doesn't leave that lasting impression as there's not much going on beneath he surface.
