Phil Hall

A symphony of small gestures, throwaway glances, brief exchanges of unexpected observation and silences which actually say more than pages of dialogue. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

A deadpan comedy shot through with a vein of despair, the Uruguayan film Whisky is a pint-size pleasure. Read full review

Dennis Lim

The film is a model of precision and economy, from the scrupulous framing and editing to the dryly note-perfect performances. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Mordantly funny deadpan comedy. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

A whimsical piece of deadpan drollery, Whisky plays like Aki Kaurismaki, South American style. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The film's measured pace may put off impatient viewers, but the brilliantly underplayed ending is worth the wait. Read full review

J.R. Jones

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

Un matrimonio fingido no afecta a nadie, ¿o sí?. Comedia minimalista, sobre un viaje de auto descubrimiento y de reencuentro entre hermanos. Es uno de los mejores ejemplos del cine latinoamericano en este nuevo milenio.

La película nos muestra la monotonía de la vida; la trama es buena y las actuaciones son excelentes; la recomiendo si te gusta el cine latino.
