Barbarella

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

It easily ranks with the best of the "Batman" TV episodes for high-style mindless nonsense. Go to Full Review

‘…Barbarella is too concerned with finding excuses to undress Fonda over and over again, and in situations with often have a cruel or sadistic edge. Written by a dozen men, the result is a haphazard, narratively limp story with almost zero stakes… Go to Full Review

Apr 27, 2019 I finally saw this movie and as a fan of cult classics I have to say it was very entertaining. It's a fun way to kill a afternoon. It's good movie junk food. See more
Finn W Mar 16, 2019 On initial viewing this is one cheesy movie, but it does have a strange attraction. Jane Fonda fills the role of the naive heroin perfectly and there is some great acting from the villains as well. If you like or dislike sci-fi this movie will still fill in a pleasant hour. See more
Hagrid R Feb 26, 2019 This movie has the distinction of the WORST movie I have ever seen. Despite the fact that Jane Fonda should have been HUNG FOR TREASON, she really should have stayed out of cinema altogether. See more
Draco R Jan 24, 2019 What an artifact from the 60's, spectacular, full of special effects and pack full of action. Jane Fonda, of course, is the main spectacular special effect of the movie as Barbarella. I am not sure what this movie is more about, whether to locate Durand Durand or a sex voyage of the chaste Barbarella who in the course of the movie experiences all kinds of sexual pleasures.

Han W Dec 29, 2018 Creepy,weird, trippy.
Luke M Sep 14, 2018 Dated and almost too bizarre, but boy did I still ate it up!
