Reviews
"Woody Allen has become such a beguiling travel agent that he rolls through these stories with a relaxed effervescence that is rather infectious." -- Grade: B- (Entertainment Weekly)
"To accommodate the ebb and flow of ideas, nearly everything about the film is fluid, including what is real and what is imagined." (Los Angeles Times)
3 stars out of 4 -- "The best of the stories in TO ROME WITH LOVE involves Allen himself..." (Chicago Sun-Times)
3 stars out of 4 -- "[I]t has pleasures galore....Cinematographer Darius Khondji uses the city as a canvas to paint with color and light." (Rolling Stone)
