Hollywood Reporter

Neither the rambling plot nor the diffuse characterizations offer much of interest, but the young performers are highly attractive, and Robb Webb's excellent cinematography offers a panorama of highly photogenic Spanish locales.

Los Angeles Times

Writer-director Kevin Noland effectively utilizes his fine young cast and the natural beauty and rich culture of northern Spain in amiably posing a timeless question of youth.

Reel Film Reviews

Americano certainly succeeds as a romanticized travelogue, and if this doesn't make one want to grab a backpack and head for the hills of Spain, nothing will.

Rated: 2.5/4

Spokesman-Review (Washington)

As Jakes Barnes and friends do in "The Sun Also Rises," Noland's characters are in Pamplona to, among other things, run with the bulls. Those other things include falling in/out of love... [and] drinking wine.

If I were to use two words to describe Americano they would be liberating & vibrant. Liberating in the sense that the overall point of the film is about letting go & letting love in, a true spirit of adventure. Vibrant in part for the colorful Spanish landscape, the mysteriously profound Riccardo, the beautifully exotic Adela & the way Chris, the film's lead, interacts with them.

Romance is one of the best parts of backpacking, although it is difficult to let go of the romance in a foreign country at last. I can feel for Chris.
