7/10
It is a film about what is not said. About family ties crossed by money, power and guilt. But it also talks about the possibility of looking from another place. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Olivia Popp Cineuropa 10/21/2024
Long, immersive scenes between family members and intimate moments where the camera simply observes everyday interactions create a fly-on-the-wall feeling that contributes to a strong sense of place where global and neighbourhood politics collide. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed is worth a watch for how it bends the documentary form, distorting the context of real footage to interrogate the notions of technology and memory. Go to Full Review
