Summary

RATING: Not Rated

Starring Liliana Capurro, Graciana Chironi, Ruth Dobel, Federico Esquerro, Bernardo Forteza, Laura Glave, Leila Gomez, and Nicolás López

A warm, vivacious comedy about love, life, laughter and the compromises we make for family. When Emila, (Gracina) an Argentinian grandmother is invited to be the 'matron of honor' at the wedding of a distant niece she invites her whole family to accompany her. They set off in a 1956 Chevy Viking camper on a cross country journey. (Palm Pictures)

Thoroughly wonderful.

New York Post V.A. Musetto

Director-writer Pablo Tapero keeps the proceedings low-key and realistic. He doesn't hit you over the head with his ideas, yet he manages to say a lot about human nature.

Miami Herald Marta Barber

Don't try to figure Emilia's family out. Just sit back and let this family scrapbook move along.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

Rolling Family is not a movie of ideas but an emotional and tactile experience of economy-class travel. In surveying a large swath of the Argentine landscape, it could be a companion piece to "The Motorcycle Diaries."

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen

Filmmaker Trapero, a proponent of the New Argentine Cinema, employs a minimalist naturalism to tell what is obviously a very personal story that, at the same time, is certain to elicit widespread sighs of familiarity.

Variety Deborah Young

The film has humanity to burn, but its loose structure makes it hard to connect with the multiple characters.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

This Argentinean comedy is short on plot and leisurely in its character development, though by the end it's become a modest and genial portrait of a dysfunctional family.

Village Voice Rob Nelson

The repeated sight of cute roadside animals and kissing cousins doesn't much enliven the long trip, and while Graciana Chironi lends humanity to the role of the white-shawl-wearing, high-blood-pressure-battling Gramma, the movie rarely if ever crosses the border between familiarity and surprise.

Chicago Tribune Michael Esposito

The wedding site at the end of the road offers beautiful vistas overlooking Brazil, but it's hardly worth the trip.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray

Still, after an hour and a half of exquisite photography and mushy action, audiences may well ask the unspoken question that plays across the faces of the Rolling Family clan right before the closing credits. Was it worth it?
