If, like me, you can’t get enough of proudly stubborn oldies holding the line against property developers from hell, a la Aquarius, then this delightful, Vienna-set character study will be the stuff of dreams for you too. Go to Full Review Laura N. Vitali EscribiendoCine 4d
8/10
This isn't a sugarcoated vision that tries to downplay an issue. But the directors are genuinely interested in Al/Alois's life and how he copes with adversity. The path will be unconventional... But it's his own. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com 4d
4/5
The result is a small, tender, honest, proudly vintage film, at times even funny (without ever descending into pathos or mocking the protagonist), and in its own way—even in its restraint and austerity—deeply moving. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
