Critics have had a mixed response to Pablo, with many praising Jeff Bridges's performance, while noting the film's uneven pacing. The Los Angeles Times commended Bridges, stating, "His embodiment of the troubled poet is both passionate and nuanced, bringing a historical figure to life with depth and conviction." However, others argued that the film felt fragmented, lacking a cohesive narrative, as noted by The Guardian, which remarked that "While visually stunning, the storytelling often feels disjointed and can confuse viewers unfamiliar with Neruda's life." On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a moderate rating of 65%, with an audience score indicating a similar sentiment. IMDb users rated it 6.6/10, showcasing a mix of appreciation for its artistic merits but criticism for its screenplay. Overall, 'Pablo' provides an intriguing insight into its titular character, albeit hampered by some storytelling flaws.
