Pietro Sibille is exceptional as Santiago, and the rest of the cast turn in dynamic performances.

Dias de Santiago zeros in on the disconnect between one man's sense of entitlement and the unforgiving realities of life in contemporary Lima.

If the movie lacks narrative originality, it leaves a singularly raw impression of having spent time inside someone's sweaty, ill-fitting skin.

The film's greatest asset is Sibille's slow-burning performance Santiago, a man whose nature and aspirations are fundamentally at odds.

Audience Reviews for Days of Santiago (Dias de Santiago)

Addresses the universal problem of soldiers coming home from war, and not being able to fit back into society. Very well done.
