Comprova a maturidade crescente de seu ainda jovem diretor.

Sustained by one of the best ensembles you're likely to see anywhere this year; almost every feeling and thought is translucent.

Rated: 3/4

A fine film in general, Chil's recent Oscar submission for Best Foreign Language Film will particularly poke (pain?) those who have traveled the more unfamiliar roads...

Most such films are packed with dialog like an overstuffed grocery bag, but The Life of Fish features conversation spoken slowly and sparsely as if every word must count.

Rated: 3.5/4

A movie which might help you coping, either struggling with the nostalgia that invades every human who has traveled or loved. Subtle environment and voice tones but it is like a car crashing into you when understood, or worse, experienced.

A contained story exploring the memories of "the one that got away." Loved it. Great acting.

A nice treatment about nostalgia done by Bize. Being realistic he gives all attention to each details in this visit of Andrés to his past.
