Despite Germano's valiant attempts to hold this movie together, it becomes silly watching him attempt to get at the heart of a mystery that is anything but.

The Hollywood Reporter

For all its high style and aestheticized visuals, this is a work of self-conscious posturing with nothing to say.

"America Latina" may frequently look and sound terrific, but a Ferrari spinning its wheels is spinning its wheels just the same...

Deadline Hollywood Daily

This is [The D’Innocenzo brothers'] shot at portraying the kind of man who has never quite hit the macho mark. Sadly, for all their brilliance at building their own off-kilter world, they miss their own target.

Loud and Clear Reviews

A daring, exquisitely multilayered story that echoes the work of Yorgos Lanthimos and Bong Joon-ho, but that is also unmistakenly Italian.

Rated: 4/5

The Film Verdict

If the narrative thread is frustrating, Elio Germano (he played one of the off-the-wall parents in Favolacce) keeps you guessing.

Andrea C

I fratelli D'Innocenzo spingono molto forte sulle loro idee, sempre più esasperate e più di nicchia, totalmente disinteressati al grande pubblico grazie al successo dei loro primi due film. "America Latina" però è senza dubbio l'opera meno riuscita, dopo un inizio ad alto impatto e sconvolgente si perde in una serie di conversazioni e di comportamenti estranianti, che fanno percepire la rottura ma che si protraggono per troppo tempo, proseguendo verso il baratro del protagonista troppo banale e praticamente mai in discussione. I punti di domanda restano senza risposta nonostante il finale sia definitivo. Il film è disturbante ma lo è sfacciatamente troppo.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
