Here's a gorgeous little film.
FULL REVIEW

The overall effect is of a young director treating some old problems with the cinematic lexicon of his time. So he is able to create warmth without slush.
By Stanley Kauffmann FULL REVIEW

Has a novelist's human touch. Were it a book, it would go somewhere on the shelf with Jonathan Safran Foer and early Philip Roth.

Lively, gentle, smart.
By David Sterritt FULL REVIEW

A general lack of drama, a low-budget documentary feel and an ultraslim storyline are more than compensated for by a sterling script and performances.

The tedious film might have been worth watching if Burman had given reasons to care about Ariel or anyone else. He doesn't and we don't.
By V.A. Musetto FULL REVIEW

Argentinean writer-director Daniel Burman uses a shaky handheld camera and voice-over narration to take us inside Ariel's head, which gets a bit exhausting, even in the more emotionally satisfying second half.
