Variety
This is not, in the end, a tale of hubris brought low, or even of a tacky life staring down a long lens at a tawdry, dwindling death. Instead it’s a chilling parable about the sins of the father becoming the punishments of the son, and about the moral arc of the universe bending, across generations, toward the coldest justice imaginable.

Slant Magazine
The film fleshes out the perhaps familiar characterizations at its center by tying contemporary wounds to the persistent presence of Europe’s ugly history.

The Film Stage
Thomas’ Bravo, recalling both Mikey Saber and Mickey Rourke, has a protruding gut, slicked-back hair, an alcohol problem, and some deep-rooted mommy issues. The film is all his.

The Hollywood Reporter
This stands as one of Austrian director Ulrich Seidl’s better but not quite best features in a pretty consistent career, not as scurrilously seedy as him at his worst, or as merciless, but not as ambitious or startlingly insightful as his best.

The Guardian
Perhaps this one doesn’t take Seidl’s creative career much further down the road to (or away from) perdition, but it is managed with unflinching conviction, a tremendous compositional sense and an amazing flair for discovering extraordinary locations.

The New York Times
We know there’s great tragedy and ugliness behind the smoke and mirrors, but we watch in amusement nonetheless. Sinisterly, Seidl reminds us how easy it is to turn people into objects for the taking.

Screen Daily
Michael Thomas’ imposing performance will be the hook for a film that, while executed with Seidl’s typical steely control, might strike his followers as being a touch too familiar – while non-adepts will find its darker dimensions altogether too bleak for comfort.

Rimini tinha todo potencial para ser um filme lírico ao retratar um cantor famoso em decadência, que aproveita a velhice cantando em espécies de cabarés baratos, bebendo, usando drogas e transando com várias mulheres, numa clara tentativa de representar o idoso que ainda tenta manter seu estilo de vida. Tema essencial num mundo onde a expectativa de vida só aumenta, e se discute muito os ramos que essa longevidade pode causar. Mas independente da proposta, o filme entrega um retrato mais cru e realístico, e talvez meio apelativo em grande parte da sua projeção. São várias cenas de sexo, meio contidos também, porém excitantes o suficiente, com direito a nu frontal masculino. Por alguma razão, "Richie Bravo" é um ser muito simpático, já que sua concepção recuoera estilos de vida jovens e tenta reaplicá-los em sua vida na terceira idade, e o roteiro conseguiu, de forma nem um pouco sutil, fazer surgir uma filha do passado para mostrar que aquele cara é carregado de história de vida. Tudo muito louvável, mas ainda assim nada mergulhado para além do superficial. Se por um lado a direção está boa, por outro o roteirista teve completa displicência aqui. Continuamos sem entender direito aquele homem e vendo muitas cenas aleatórias do seu cotidiano. Então, o jeito é aceitar que é um filme para se deliciar com cenas intimistas (e íntimas) do protagonista em busca de si, muito mais do que dele em relação ao meio. Confesso que esperava mais, porém, para quem teve experiência similar, talvez consiga desenvolver um pouco mais de empatia.
