Critics Consensus

This frothy, oddly bloodless film does a disservice to the colorful life of the real Casanova.

Zadie Smith

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Casanova is a silly film. Half Carry On, half Shakespearean comedy, everyone in it is perfectly nice and should reassemble to make a great Twelfth Night.

Overall, Casanova is silly but amusing.

Austin Chronicle

Hallstrm's latest is fine but unambitious, content with what it is -- an arthouse trifle for the masses.

Rated: 3/5

When a film comes along that cheerfully skewers the powers that be, they claim to be bored and find it a waste of their time.

Film Geek Central

A fun, lighthearted, energetic (if insignificant) romp that features fine work from Ledger, Platt and Irons. I was grinning for most of the running time.

Rated: 3/4

Gets funny once it enters farce mode. Nothing special by the cast, including Ledger.

A história de Casanova não me apetece, tampouco o filme me conquistou, até mesmo por imaginar que talvez seus casos deveriam ter menos romance e amor, principalmente pela época, onde as mulheres não tinham liberdade sexual alguma, entretanto o filme se torna chato e cansativo, pouco carisma entre os personagens, toque cômico fraco… Assisti arrastado, bons nomes não salvaram uma obra regular… Cansativo, colorido, pouco carisma, mas tentou…

Casanova takes many, many liberties with the history of the titular character. It is entertaining enough through the first 80 minutes that those inaccuracies and even the questionable decision making by Oliver Platt's character - plots shouldn't hinge on people making decisions that are at odds with what little we know about them - can be forgiven. The final 20 minutes see the movie go completely off the rails. The first 80% is worth watching as it features Heath Ledger, some fun dialogue, and has Venice as a backdrop. Rather than rent it, you can find it on Youtube for free.

It feels like the creators were afraid to jump in any specific direction, which created a jumbled mess. This movie wasn't all bad, but the movie felt more like bits and pieces of other movies rather than actually being a movie itself.

Interesting and entertaining movie that focused on the people more than the exploits.

1/8/18 This movie is really pretty silly. It has a few funny parts, but it's nothing earth shattering. I liked that it had a different setting... being set in Venice probably in the 1800s. The fact that people can't identify him by his face is preposterous, but whatever. Silly, and pretty brainless comedy.
