John DeFore Hollywood Reporter The film's final act is unbelievable, even if we ascribe hidden motivations to uncharacteristic behavior. Sep 19, 2007 Full Review John Anderson Variety No one involved will benefit from their association with Babenco's ambitious but failed effort. Sep 17, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I don't know if it's a great movie or a really bad movie. I didn't get bored watching it but I don't think I'm taking much out of it either. Anyways, for better or for worse, it's always good to get away from Hollywood kind of movies. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Muy fugaces la mayoria de los personajes pero me agrado la historia bastante. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a pleasure to see Bernal in a good movie -- he's made some duds recently. Argentine movies are usually angst-ridden and psychological, and this is no exception. It's a dark study, and even though some thought the high points were the sex scenes (Bernal is sometimes typecast as an inexhaustible sex machine), I thought the tension between his aimless self-destruction and the intense abandonment issues of the women were interesting. Like Fellini, Goes and Babenco are holding up a microscope to the depravity of the privileged. My main objection is the theft of the child which was never resolved, or even alluded to at the end...unless I missed something. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome acting in a nonsense story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Sıradan bir öykà 1/4, yer yer bir can sıkıntısı Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member if it wasn't for bernal and director's hability i hardly would have watched till the end. It's a very complicated story for a simple message. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
