Proves that Americans don't hold the patent on familial dysfunction, but it's also a sincere personal essay about writer-director Trapero's Argentinean family.

Despite some nice performances ... it never gets out of the predictable low gear.

Top CriticThe cast doesn't look like a troupe of actors; it could easily be taken for an ordinary family with plenty of physical and psychological bumps and bruises, but always loving.

It's a profoundly rich and beautiful picture, in its unassuming way close to a masterpiece.
09/20/06
Top CriticThis is all about boredom, anger and sex, and what we get most is the first on the list.

Director-writer Pablo Tapero keeps the proceedings low-key and realistic. He doesn't hit you over the head with his ideas, yet he manages to say a lot about human nature.

Top CriticTrapero focuses on hazy morning sunrises and landscapes rushing by, and the way he frames the action in that tiny camper is like an extended, bravura stunt.

Getting released so close to Little Miss Sunshine can't be a coincidence.

The movie rarely if ever crosses the border between familiarity and surprise.

Top CriticThe cast is as spiritedly naturalistic as Guillermo Nieto's cinematography, but there's no sense of place (let alone insight), and for a road movie that's a fatal flaw.

Another low-budget gem from the New Argentine cinema.
12/06/05
The film sets up a familiar dichotomy: traditional values, common sense, and a sense of nature, contrasted with urban sophistication, neurosis, and selfishness.
06/21/05
Funny, telling and more than a little frightening
02/07/05
The film has humanity to burn, but its loose structure makes it hard to connect with the multiple characters.
11/08/04
Top CriticFilled with the kind of universal truths that know few language barriers.
11/08/04
Top CriticNot a movie of ideas but an emotional and tactile experience of economy-class travel.
10/14/04
Top CriticWhile the film is completely unpretentious and moves at a pleasant pace, it's also lightweight.
