Being kidnapped shatters a brother and sister's harmony, forcing them to confront their desires.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

The spare, relentlessly controlled debut feature of the Mexican director Michel Franco, Daniel & Ana advances on minimal dialogue and with virtually no musical accompaniment.

Rated: 2.5/5

The film's horrifying experience looms over each well-constructed frame without anywhere to go...

Andrew Schenker

Village Voice

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.

The L Magazine

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.

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]

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]

No es una pelÃcula para niÃ±os y Mexico demuestra que si sabe hacer pelÃculas animadas. La historia es profunda e interesante y bastante fuerte

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.

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.
