Lawrence Garcia

AV Club

But for all of the film's focus on romantic relationships, it offers precious little in terms of behavioral or textural specificity.

Rated: C+

New York Times

Renato Berta's cinematography lends an expansiveness to its ordinary settings, both urban and semirural.

Richard Brody

New Yorker

The Salt of Tears starts aridly, in scenes of a bus-stop encounter of two young adults that in short order becomes a fragile romance, but it soon rises very high with its fusion of brusque candor and unspoken yearnings.

Vague Visages

The Salt of Tears hovers around repulsive aspects of society without fully committing to its own unpleasantness…

Cinegarage

Seemingly flat and messy, but ultimately, it is playing with the audience's perception and aims to provoke and create discomfort. [Full review in Spanish]

Roger Moore

Movie Nation

The pointless, pretentious narration and overcast black and white cinematography make "The Salt of Tears" play like a parody of French cinema of the '60s

Rated: 2/4
