Brandon Judell indieWire a look at an ex-soldier, who after "six years of battling terrorists, the Peruvian drug mafia, and a nationalist war against Ecuador," finds out there's no place for him in civilization. . .Existentialist fare at its best. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post Pietro Sibille is exceptional as Santiago, and the rest of the cast turn in dynamic performances. Rated: 3/4 Dec 8, 2005 Full Review Nathan Lee New York Times Dias de Santiago zeros in on the disconnect between one man's sense of entitlement and the unforgiving realities of life in contemporary Lima. Rated: 4/5 Dec 7, 2005 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com easy to sympathize with Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 2, 2006 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide The film's greatest asset is Sibille's slow-burning performance Santiago, a man whose nature and aspirations are fundamentally at odds.

Audience Member An interesting perspective on the recovery of war. This feels like a post Vietnam pic but the unique angle adds to the delivery of very unique recovery. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Days Of Santiago is a very nice proposal by director Josue Mendez. The acting is fine, but the script is great. Although the black and white scenes are sometimes unnecessary, the movie is still pretty good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Described the complicated feelings and the difficulties of rebuilding the social life of the protagionist in detail. Very well control on the mod of the story. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The first 20 minutes watching it I was almost certain where the movie would go, but to my surprise it does not end up in the cliches bin. Well executed although I wish I could understand the reasons of switching back and forth from b&w and color Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Me parecio bastante interesante, no le tenia mucha fe pero creo q se logra estar en los zapatos de santiago y entender lo q siente, no verse reconocido, sin cabida en la sociedad actual, la incidencia de su familiar, la importancia de sus compañeros de armas, etc etc etc. Recomendada. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Le retour difficile a la vie civile d'un ex commando de l armee peruvienne. Difficulte a se detacher de son passe de soldat pour reconstruire quelque chose de neuf. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
