(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1   A- "Angel-A is a dear, surprising film - one of the best Besson has put out into the world."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf "Ultimately too slight a work on which to end a directorial career."   Film Journal International   Chris Barsanti 3.5/4 "Beautifully shot and superbly acted..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B- "It's a wisp of a film, recommendable for a lark, but not nearly as ambitious or entertaining as you'd expect from Besson."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/5 "An intriguing drama about a quirky leggy blonde angel who comes to Paris on a mission of mercy to show a self-destructive and petty man his worth."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "Besson's dialogue is often inane, occasionally sounding like it is copied verbatim out of a new age self-help manual."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Familiar situations and trite dialogue give this movie the feel of something freeze-dried and reconstituted."   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards 2.5/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3.5/4 "A visually arresting odd-couple comedy that reveals itself to be, quite literally, It's a Wonderful Life with a bimbo!"   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 2.5/4 "Besson's sniggering conception of Angela as a pure spirit in the body of a high-end hooker is just juvenile, and Andre is, frankly, a drag."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 1.5/4 "Besson's first behind-the-camera outing since 1999's The Messenger is as skeletal as his model-turned-leading lady."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "A witty, edgy cross between Amélie and It's a Wonderful Life."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C+ "The sleek style and sassy attitude gets mired in a vague, soft-headed psychology of self-affirmation and daytime talk-show platitudes as the angel turns every encounter into a lesson in self-esteem and character building."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "As I watched it, I found myself wishing it were just a little loopier. But the picture is still seductive and pleasing."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 5/10 "The film settles into a laid-back groove that is, how shall we say, endlessly boring."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1
