Ned Martel New York Times 02/24/2005
3/5
Rodrigo Bellott's frenzied but clever first film juggles race, class, jingoism, homophobia, sexual attraction and rape. Go to Full Review
Edward Crouse Village Voice 02/22/2005
No worse than a tinny artist's statement, but as moviemaking, it's brutally embarrassing, inexcusable. Go to Full Review

2/5
This bold experiment fails to hang together as a watchable film, straining audience sympathies in too many directions before finally collapsing under its own strident weight. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 02/25/2005
3/5
Its power lies in the intense, subtle performances of the ensemble cast and Bellott's ability to keep the tangled narrative threads from becoming a knotted mess. Go to Full Review
David Sterritt Christian Science Monitor 02/24/2005
2/4
The pace of this Bolivia/US coproduction is slower than that of a snail, but it gathers some interest as the themes of the vignettes dovetail near the end. Go to Full Review

1/4
The split-screen effect does nothing to advance the plot, and is more of a distraction than anything else. Go to Full Review

09/16/2011 This is the type of film I'll only watch for film class. Few of the story lines kept my interest. The interesting part is how it always shows two points of views of the plot. It is rather nice and unconventional. See more 05/03/2010 [b]Review coming soon... [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/smilies/rotten.gif[/img][/b][size=4] 4.00/10[/size] See more 02/19/2010 Me parece que las historias presentadas son de recetario, y que la doble cámara es desperdiciada en la mayor parte de la película, pocas veces tiene una función verdaderamente útil. El punto que levanta un poco la película es el monólogo final, que le da cierta unidad a todas las historias, se explica un poco mejor la doble pantalla, su intención de reflejar un paralelismo entre lo que sucede en un lugar y en otro. La idea que me llamó la atención: se hace una película para saber como se llegó a la idea de hacer una obra de teatro (monólogo) que a la vez es la película. See more 05/11/2009 Good but not yet great. Stories are made to be common, practical & down to earth by using mainly amateur actors. The 'machismo' turns almost every man in the film to be a dick. Also agreeing the split screen technique is actually not that necessary & somehow distracting & confusing. The segment [Mirror] looks awkward, no good & inconsistent among the others. The ending, however, rounds up well yet thrilling. See more 03/10/2009 The subject isn't very uncommon. Using split screen to tell a cross-life sexuality story is very unique, however, it is quite annoying, confusing and somewhat unncessary. See more 12/16/2008 A harsly realistic, moving yet analytical film that handles its very pop subject in a wise and uncompromosing manner. Refreshingly mature and honest. See more Read all reviews
