Janet Maslin New York Times 03/13/2015
Whenever the film wanders away from Gabriela, it seems to dawdle aimlessly before finding her again. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert RogerEbert.com 03/13/2015
2/4
There is no real chemistry between the bar owner and his wonderful lover, [so] even the most dedicated filmgoer is eventually reduced to waiting for what we used to call the good parts. Go to Full Review Bob Baker Time Out 03/13/2015
Number one item on the agenda, however, is the camera's on-going perusal of the Braga bod. Mastroianni as Gabriela's main man lends an air of consequence to the proceedings. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/21/2012 Based on Jorge Amado's novel, Gabriela it's a erotic drama by Bruno Barreto with terrific actings by Marcello Mastroianni and Sonia Braga. A chronicle about costum, society, sex and love. Gabriela have the bold of present nudity and sex scenes, showing the beauty in human body and love between the characters of Gabriela and Nacib. Fresh. See more 03/13/2012 Oh my God! This crap is considered a true Brazilian classic?!?! This movie was poorly developed, the acting is considered almost amateur and the plot wasn't that good either. How did Sonia Braga became famous and moved to the USA? She almost doesn't speak. The movie just shows her naked almost all the time. See more 08/06/2011 Wonderful Brazilian soap. Steamy. The book, as usual, is much better. See more 01/11/2011 There's a plot going on, but I didn't find it...
