Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 08/27/2010
2.5/5
The spare, relentlessly controlled debut feature of the Mexican director Michel Franco, Daniel & Ana advances on minimal dialogue and with virtually no musical accompaniment. Go to Full Review Lisa Rosman Time Out 08/25/2010
1/5
The film's horrifying experience looms over each well-constructed frame without anywhere to go... Go to Full Review Andrew Schenker Village Voice 08/24/2010
Too bad the director blows it with a last act that tips the film's delicate balance over into lurid grotesquerie, even as his staging remains as consciously muted as ever. Go to Full Review Violet Lucca The L Magazine 06/20/2016
Daniel & Ana may seem like a terrible choice for a first date, but if you're brave enough, the post-cinematic discussion will assuredly be more revealing of character than any online compatibility test. Go to Full Review Josué Corro Chilango.com 04/11/2016
For more than 40 minutes nothing happens, there are the same shots, the same scenes, the same misfortune. A constant Deja vu. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Daniel Krauze Letras Libres 04/11/2016
The important thing in the Francos script is not what is said, but what is reserved. This requires patience for the narrative of the film. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/27/2019 No es una película para niños y Mexico demuestra que si sabe hacer películas animadas. La historia es profunda e interesante y bastante fuerte See more 01/01/2019 A heavy, serious story which in Pixar hand would be golden but they have no guts to undertake. I cried in the end. It is good movie don't let the childish style fool you it is a strong idea and a great story which not tries to inflate risks.

See more 09/13/2018 Pixar needs to step up their game cause this movie takes you on an unexpected emotional ride into understanding mental health in ways you never thought possible in a children's movie, which holds good moral lessons for children and even better ones for adults.
