While the movie is not without flaws, its simplicity is elevated by beautiful cinematography and production value.

The aptly titled Esteros takes the audience on a journey of sexual discovery, no matter how muddy that experience may often be.

A film with convincing performances and that, in an underlying way, approaches how a series of political decisions influenced society to change the paradigm against homosexuality. [Full review in Spanish]

A little disjointed, a little slow. At first, it’s good for the tension, but I wanted something more. Maybe that was the point? It might just be my American sensibility versus the Argentine sensibility in terms of movie making. I just would have liked a bit more overt drama

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It could have easily veered off track; instead it is a nearly perfect view into the natural simplicities and dense intricacies of human nature.

Just a wonderful movie. All the actors make it believable. Was sad when it ended as I didn’t want it to end.

Heartfelt, poignant, culturally much different than American films obviously, yet at the core, the same issues. I could hear Guarani in some of the vocabulary.
