Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
Unable to satisfy either the audience seeking a frothy adult sex comedy or those surprised by a rather somber (yet more satisfying) subplot.

John Turturro brings sensitivity and intelligence to a subject that could have gone terribly awry in this wryly observant dramedy.
Variety
The breezy and sometime absurd FADING GIGOLO is reminiscent of vintage Italian films and early Woody Allen movies.
USA Today
Originally developed as a short story/sketch, [John] Turturro has chiseled the story and the characters with sharpened traits yet soft edges, smooth to the touch and the heart...An adorably quirky slice of life and love.

Behind The Lens
Rating: 3/5 --
The music, as with the earthy set design, and the elegantly textural jewel-toned costuming, create a rich and sensual backdrop that make up for the flat characters and the somewhat improbable plot.

Dear Cast and Crew
Rating: 7/10 --
What makes Fading Gigolo unique is its sensitivity toward the female perspective, representing hooking in a positive light as an emotionally therapeutic practice.

Way Too Indie
Rating: 3/5 --
Whilst dryly humorous and happy to navigate -- sometimes successfully, sometimes not -- Jewish clichés, Fading Gigolo's real charm lies in its warmth.
