Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Whether you ease into the languid and semi-treacly flow of this big-hearted Argentinean import or instead scoff at the child's-eye platitudes contained within will have much to do with your tolerance of preposterously cute moppets in dire straits. Rated: 3/5 Jan 24, 2005 Full Review Jeff Strickler Minneapolis Star Tribune Sporting thick, black-rimmed glasses, a runaway imagination and enough nervous energy to light up Manhattan, Noya turns what could have been a pitiful character into a rambunctious imp. Rated: 3/4 Jun 17, 2004 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Coming-of-age family drama has mature themes, cursing. Rated: 3/5 Mar 22, 2019 Full Review James Verniere Boston Herald Rated: 3/4 Jan 24, 2005 Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press Rated: 0/4 Jan 24, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
