Critics Consensus

Culturally shallow and lacking in thematic cohesion, this tepid anthology proclaims its affection for Rio de Janeiro in all the wrong ways.

Scott Marks

San Diego Reader

Countless shots of the Christ the Redeemer statue notwithstanding, for all we're told about the titular location, they might just as well spread the love in Jersey.

Rated: 1/5

The city of Rio is easy to love. The movie "Rio, I Love You," not so much.

Rated: 1.5/5

If the beauty of Rio de Janeiro is jaw-dropping, so, too, is the slipshod manner in which the aforementioned talents go about their business there.

Rated: 1.5/4

"Rio, I Love You" is made up of segments that don't flow well. Overly long and boring, the film never truly captures the vibe and personality of its title city.

Rated: 1.5/5

The 8% rating here for "Rio..." is ridiculous. Are the critics blind, and dumb... 8% is simply vindictive and unfair. This is a supremely well- made well-acted well-directed movie which captivates interests provokes entertains enchants from the very first scenes. The first story of the homeless old woman is beautiful, the story of the sand-sculptor listening to the music of people's feet passing is so clever, and Harvey Keitel playing Jesus to a lively street kid is a gem. And there is so much more... The movie is full of gorgeous settings and people. Rio itself is a star that shines. The movie makes me want to go there... Go see "Rio, I love you..."... Be charmed and rewarded. In your head, and in your 💛 heart... Forget the 8%...

This film is 10 years old and I see no reason why it should be so boring. Rio, I Love You is a film that mixes various beauties, cultures and beliefs in such a wonderful city.

Al igual que sus predecesoras, "Paris, Je t'aime" y "New York, I love you", las historias son muy emotivas, y tiene una banda sonora muy bien lograda. Espero que haya muchas más películas de esta franquicia.

Muitas estórias espalhadas pela cidade, sem graça algum e ligação entre si, um filme para falar que o Rio de Janeiro é lindo e atrair turistas, porém no fundo é um filme bem porcaria e não foi possível assistir até o final.
