Barcelona is one of those movies that contains just about everything (and a lot of it) except action. The plot is a vehicle for the characters (and their intelligently-scripted dialogue) -- a method, as Stillman says, of viewing different ...read the complete Barcelona movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

So this anecdotal, sometimes ...read the complete Barcelona movie review at New York Times (Lawrence Van Gelder)
