Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 May 6, 2006 Full Review Susan Walker Toronto Star As visually captivating as it is emotionally engaging. Rated: 3/4 Aug 12, 2005 Full Review David Gilmour Globe and Mail The film's sophistication -- and it is an immensely sophisticated film -- lies in its refusal to tuck in too tightly its shirttails. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 12, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: B Oct 2, 2012 Full Review Anton Bitel Film4 Affectionate, funny and ultimately moving, Burman's fourth feature embraces humanity in the Argentinean marketplace. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 15, 2007 Full Review Rex Roberts Film Journal International Does what it sets out to do--celebrate the good nature of those people who, despite life's difficulties, remain true to their loved ones, their friends, and themselves.

Audience Member Nice visuals and good emotions drawn by the actors. Sophisticated for a comedy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Suprisingly funny and authentic.. good pace movie that's fun to watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Otra buena interpretación de Hendler... en una historia que se desarrolla en un pequeño "mundo" de personajes arquetípicos sumergidos en una cotidianeidad que tiene cierto encanto. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Burman, nuevamente nos brinda una historia bien neurótica que apunta a la reflexión y a la busqueda constante de una identidad tanto filial como cultural. Es muy lograda la construcción de ese espacio multicultural como lo es una galeria comercial en un barrio de Buenos Aires. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting concept mostly well executed. the modest, focused setting provides more of a play dynamic than a movie and conveys a claustrophobic vibe that reinforces one of its central themes. and there are great supporting roles across the board --- especially Sonja. but it was hard for me to like the lead character, and that drags the whole thing down a bit. love the Ramon vs El Peruano scene. that's inspired storytelling. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Genial, como todos los de la dupla Burman-Hendler... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
