3/4
[Director Julia] Solomonoff draws out vivid performances by Valeria Bertuccelli (Elena) and Ingrid Rubio (Natalia) that make up for the script's predictability. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 12/05/2006
4/5
The ghost of 1970s Argentina haunts 1980s Texas in this perceptive and beautifully acted drama from the Argentine director Julia Solomonoff. Go to Full Review
Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine 11/25/2006
2.5/4
Better than the film's soap-operatic flashbacks, familiar slogs through Cautiva terrain, are the story's playful, unpretentious observations of culture-clash and assimilation. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 12/08/2006
3/4
Solomonoff cuts back and forth between 1984 and 1976, gradually revealing the truth of what happened, but the mystery is less important than the complex relationship between Natalia and Elena, which was sorely tested by events beyond their control. Go to Full Review
Phil Hall Film Threat 12/01/2006
1.5/5
Solomonoff's screenplay unwisely telegraphs key events long before they turn up on screen, and her direction is so slovenly that the film often feels like a surveillance video with English subtitles. Go to Full Review

01/20/2009 Two Argentine sisters both come to terms with one another with their harrowing pasts while dealing with culture clashes with their newfound home in the United States. Well-acted and very interesting to watch, however the tone becomes somewhat muddled near the film´s coda and starts to lose a lot of the dramatic realism that it was shooting for in the beginning. Still, as a family drama more-or-less, it certainly works and thankfully enough isn´t too complicated to understand until the political thriller elements come well into play.
