V.A. Musetto New York Post Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 25, 2005 Full Review Ned Martel New York Times Rodrigo Bellott's frenzied but clever first film juggles race, class, jingoism, homophobia, sexual attraction and rape. Rated: 3/5 Feb 24, 2005 Full Review Edward Crouse Village Voice No worse than a tinny artist's statement, but as moviemaking, it's brutally embarrassing, inexcusable. Feb 22, 2005 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 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. Rated: 3/5 Feb 25, 2005 Full Review David Sterritt Christian Science Monitor 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. Rated: 2/4 Feb 24, 2005 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews The split-screen effect does nothing to advance the plot, and is more of a distraction than anything else. Rated: 1/4 Nov 30, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member [b]Review coming soon... [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/smilies/rotten.gif[/img][/b][size=4] 4.00/10[/size] Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A harsly realistic, moving yet analytical film that handles its very pop subject in a wise and uncompromosing manner. Refreshingly mature and honest. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
