Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer This is good, escapist stuff. Rated: 3/4 Mar 7, 2014 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter High-energy chase pic makes the most of a novel setting. Feb 28, 2014 Full Review Walter V. Addiego San Francisco Chronicle There's no subtlety here - coincidences are wildly abundant - but with this kind of vitality, who cares? Sit back and be carried away by the extended tracking shots and bam-bam editing. Rated: 3/4 Feb 27, 2014 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com It's an action/thriller that makes you think and a sensitive, romantic film that makes feel deeply. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 22, 2020 Full Review Bernard Boo Way Too Indie These contrived scenarios and close calls come consecutively and in great number, and it's hard not to roll your eyes a bit at the impossibility of it all, especially in a setting this gritty and grounded. Rated: 6.5/10 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Carlos Bonfil La Jornada Sometimes it ventures into the realm of farse, but just then it returns to the comic book feel that it creates from the start.

Santiago B 7 cajas es la opera prima de Tana shembori(Directora) y en parte también la de Juan Carlos maneglia(guionista) y es la película que revolucionó el cine paraguayo. Hablando de la película, es lo que amores perros fue en México, incluso se parecen en estructura. Los personajes están totalmente conectados entre sí, y aunque cada uno tenga su propio hilo argumental separado de la historia principal de víctor al fin y al cabo se conectan todos en una calle, en el apartado visual tiene una paleta tenue y poco iluminada más aún la mayoría de la película transcurre de noche, esta coloración representa totalmente a los personajes y su tenue vida en el mercado en donde viven. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Excepcional!!!! Surpreendente. Prende a atenção... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Fresh, frenetic and extremely dark, 7 boxes mark a before and after in the Paraguayan cinema. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Too overrated. The performances go from bad to acceptable, being Nicolas García the weakest point between the actors. The argument that revolves around the actions of the main character is laughable, a young worker who dreams of going on TV and is capable of dying for a cell phone. The transverse plot is much more interesting, but the character of Garcia is almost a caricature that ruins the possibility of taking what you see seriously. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Estuvo muy buena la película por HBO latino. Me gustó mucho el cambio de Español, y Guaraní. Me dio una idea de la cultura y sociedad de Paraguay. El tema era drogas y negocios, unos temas muy cordial para cualquier película. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Several of us made a connection between this film and those from America's Coen brothers. It is a black comedy with serious side notes about relationships, trust and capitalism. Check it out! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
