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.

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.

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.

Burman, nuevamente nos brinda una historia bien neurÃ³tica que apunta a la reflexiÃ³n y a la busqueda constante de una identidad tanto filial como cultural. Es muy lograda la construcciÃ³n de ese espacio multicultural como lo es una galeria comercial en un barrio de Buenos Aires.

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.
