"A dazzling and delightful work of modernist animation, a classic movie romance and a hip-swinging, finger-popping tale of musical revolution, Chico & Rita is the first big serendipitous surprise of 2012."
Andrew O'Hehir - SALON.COM

"The music is terrific. Idania Valdes dubs Rita's sensuous, smoky singing voice, and the film is essentially constructed as a musical."
Roger Ebert - CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"Chico & Rita beguiles first and foremost as a bebop romance that evokes a bygone era as well as, or maybe even better than, The Artist."
Lou Lumenick - NEW YORK POST
