What to Know

Critics Consensus

Unevenly paced and thoroughly cheesy, Barbarella is nonetheless full of humor, entertaining visuals, and Jane Fonda's sex appeal.

Vadim had chosen to be risqué, not risky, preposterous not profound, and he has succeeded. Go to Full Review
Will Jones Minneapolis Star Tribune Feb 12
It easily ranks with the best of the "Batman" TV episodes for high-style mindless nonsense. Go to Full Review

What makes the thing so stupendously awful and callous is its perpetration of a mighty fraud. Go to Full Review

Bakercakes 06/19/2022 Its an absolutely ridiculous space sex opera that has been argued by many to be either feminist progressive storytelling or misogynistic exploitation. I think this movie lets you see what you want to see in it. Mayhap that is its lasting legacy. The popcorn was excellent, and that seems fitting. See more Craig B Dec 8 A great classic sci-fi from the late 60's. See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 27 Why did I watch this? My two reasons are that it was 17+ for a 1960s movie, and looked interesting in general. The result? Just a weird movie. I'd consider it a classic. You never forget the opening scene. See more Nervous G Aug 4 Look, it’s going to be exactly what it says on the packaging… it is cheesy and sexy, arguably mildly entertaining. Is it something worthy of a rewatch? Probably not. I’ve probably been kinder than I should with this review, but it gets an extra star for the sake of “posterior”. See more Emma F @MovieFan97 Mar 19 I’m not sure if this is the right place to share, but it seems like it might contain explicit adult content. It also seemed to be quite disrespectful towards women. See more Julian S @akajulianscott Jan 10 A time capsule of pure camp and mayhem, Fonda doesn’t dig deep, but her presence offers a crucial grounding against the cartoonish chaos.
