About
You may like Barcelona if you enjoy smart, talk-heavy comedies about awkward Americans abroad and subtle romantic misadventures; Not for you if you need a fast-moving plot or broad laughs, and try Metropolitan or The Last Days of Disco if you want more from Whit Stillman.
Pros: sharp, witty dialogue; distinctive humor; lively city setting | Cons: uneven middle; talk-heavy pacing; some thin characterizations
