The film has humanity to burn, but its loose structure makes it hard to connect with the multiple characters.
11/08/04
While the film is completely unpretentious and moves at a pleasant pace, it's also lightweight.
10/11/04
This is all about boredom, anger and sex, and what we get most is the first on the list.
09/15/06
Despite some nice performances ... it never gets out of the predictable low gear.
10/12/06
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.
09/08/06
The 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.
04/01/06
The movie rarely if ever crosses the border between familiarity and surprise.
09/05/06
Top CriticIt's a profoundly rich and beautiful picture, in its unassuming way close to a masterpiece.
09/20/06
Top CriticGetting released so close to Little Miss Sunshine can't be a coincidence.
09/05/06
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.
08/27/07
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
The 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.
09/29/06
Filled with the kind of universal truths that know few language barriers.
11/08/04
Top CriticFunny, telling and more than a little frightening
02/07/05
Not a movie of ideas but an emotional and tactile experience of economy-class travel.
10/14/04
Top CriticAnother low-budget gem from the New Argentine cinema.
12/06/05
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.
