Audience Member Beautiful and magic! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/21 Full Review dave s Alamar is an odd film by any standard, but what is oddest about it is the fact that it is totally captivating for no explicable reason. A young boy, who will be leaving with his mother for a new life in Italy, spends time with his father at Banco Chinchorro, a remote atoll off the coast of Mexico. They spend their days fishing, swimming, boating, and enjoying the short time they have remaining together as father and son. Director Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio is totally objective throughout, passing no judgement regarding the father's lifestyle, and effectively captures the depth of the relationship between the two characters. While not for all tastes, it is a moving film and a daring experiment. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed this film immensely. It is a very beautiful film, but which never seems to be overly sentimental. The documentary-style is cleverly executed, and the gentle contemplation of the father-son relationship is touching. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful, gentle people. Wonderful life they live. How sad for the child to be taken from there to live in the "real" world. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Even though this is a very simple film I enjoyed it very much. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a very different kind of documentary from the ones I usually watch. It was very simple yet very 'warm' and touching. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
