RitBApr 7, 20083Weak film that fails to grab the viewer's interest. The only plus is good camera work.

MichaelS.Mar 21, 20089Enjoyable and sentimental, but involving as it blends soccer, jewish life for a boy, and the political and military milieu of 1970 Brazil.

70Sensitive, delicate and involving.
-
This warmly engaging film benefits from its understated approach (it suggests rather than spells out the political turmoil), and its light, comedic tone never mitigates the drama of the central story.
-
70The performances are charming and convincing, and Mr. Joelsas does a good job of conveying Mauro's loneliness and confusion as well as his playfulness. The Year My Parents Went on Vacation may not be terribly fresh or original, but its warm, sweet, nostalgic tone is hard to dislike.
