Critic Reviews for Days of Santiago

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (6)

a look at an ex-soldier, who after "six years of battling terrorists, the Peruvian drug mafia, and a nationalist war against Ecuador," finds out there's no place for him in civilization. . .Existentialist fare at its best.

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

V.A. Musetto
New York Post
Dias de Santiago zeros in on the disconnect between one man's sense of entitlement and the unforgiving realities of life in contemporary Lima.

Nathan Lee
New York Times
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

May 17, 2013

An interesting perspective on the recovery of war. This feels like a post Vietnam pic but the unique angle adds to the delivery of very unique recovery.
