    Excellent film. Well-acted. Mirella Pascual deserves a 10/10 for her performance. This film could only have been made in Uruguay, believe me.

    Though the film might be considered slow-paced by some, I had a smile on my face through most of it. Great character study wonderfully acted.

    The witty title aside, this is a miserably dull exercise in stingy-Jew humor and post-Jarmusch nonreaction.

    A symphony of small gestures, throwaway glances, brief exchanges of unexpected observation and silences which actually say more than pages of dialogue.
  3. There is little suspense, however, and while all the attention on the small details of their lives is laudable, it isn't very interesting.
