Critic Reviews for The Dead Man and Being Happy

All Critics (3) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (3)

This reserved, tragicomic story of existential flight across Argentina is defined by its shifting, literary voice-over about the textured, wide-screen expanses crossed by its protagonist.

Nicolas Rapold
New York Times
At once familiar and enigmatic, Javier Rebollo's The Dead Man and Being Happy feels like a connect-the-dots film with a few lines artfully blurred.

Matthew Connolly
Slant Magazine
With few words and austere expressiveness, [Jos] Sacristn manages to give shape to a creature both credible and likable. [Full review in Spanish]
