A vibrant tableau that's wonderful to appreciate and soak in but can feel painful to watch.

4.5/5

A visually gorgeous movie that follows a family who lives in a conservative village. Impeccable acting all around with a heartbreaking last 20 minutes.

Powerful. Heart breaking. Elicits a self introspective analysis of what is morality and its association with cultural and societal values, paternal love at the core of these issues. Very well acted. Very well directed. So glad I watched.

Hermosa y conmovedora. Muestra el crudo conservadurismo de los Andes, el machismo, la intolerancia y la homofobia.

Retablo es una pelicula que se centra en la vida de un chico con su papa con el que hacen retablos a la gente, considerando este tema que es bastante simple Retablo lo vuelve una pelicula dramatica bastante buena de acuerdo a su genero, recomendada
