The film's resolution is both haunting and satisfying.
By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW

Piles heavy emotional baggage on a slender story frame. Pic looks ravishing, featuring a nocturnal road trip through a cool kaleidoscopic landscape of shifting colors peopled by three commanding thesps of different generations whose interlocking stories form a cohesive whole.
By Ronnie Scheib FULL REVIEW

The wave-like "Rashomon" structure of the story, combined with the steady pace and moody look of Vivere are lulling, but in the end the situation is neither believable nor fantastic enough to be very compelling.
By Carina Chocano FULL REVIEW

You can't quarrel with the lensing and acting, but the overabundance of coincidences keeps Vivere from reaching its full potential.
By V.A. Musetto FULL REVIEW

Almost holding things together is the marvelous Ms. Elsner: there’s more depth in her weary gaze and disappointed mouth than in any line of dialogue. Not since Bette Davis lit and flicked has smoking been so evocative, or so heartbreaking.
By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW

I like writer-director Angela Maccarone's ambition, but her technical ingenuity exceeds her grasp of potentially complex emotions, which get stuck in a groove of mawkish self-pity.
