Stories revolve around a woman (Marta Lubos) searching for a farm and a troubled couple on a photo shoot.

Cath Clarke

Guardian

A topcoat of enforced lyricism creates an emotional soft-focus that is unsatisfying and unconvincing.

Rated: 2/5

London Evening Standard

It is slow-paced, a bit overlong but almost lovingly sympathetic, as if some people's histories have a lot to tell us that we don't know.

Rated: 3/5

Little White Lies

If previous features My Little Eye, Trauma and Snow Cake belied Evans' filmmaking voice, Patagonia is a loudhailer that announces the Carmarthen son as one of British cinema's most promising talents.

Rated: 4/5

Daily Mirror (UK)

Now here's a curio - a film that flits between Wales and Argentina and features a small turn from songstress Duffy. And it's a complete gem.

Radio Times

Evans makes fine use of cinematographer Robbie Ryan's contrasting images of the parched pampas and lush valleys, while Lubos's odyssey ends on a poignant note and the insights into identity and belonging are astute.

Rated: 3/5

An absolutely beautiful little film set in two very different but connected locations. Wonderful scenery. Characters who are both lovable and annoying. In the end I felt the world was both a bigger and a smaller place.

Beautiful Welsh/Argentine landscapes and an enjoyable film but the relationship between Rhys and Gwen was unconvincing. Highlights were always interactions between Alejandro and Cerys

It's a hard sell, but this Welsh/Argentinian co-production, shot on location in both countries and featuring two very separate stories (though both about home and how we mythologise "belonging") is a beguiling, deeply moving and superbly acted film. Stunningly photographed with a great soundtrack, this is an overlooked gem.

Beautiful, beautiful, spectacular landscapes and culturally rich settings, only to be let down quite badly by its formulaic and highly predictable storyline.
