Such engaging, well-drawn characters are a pleasure to spend time with, and Salah-Cazanas has a bright future behind the camera...

The picture is perceptive on class and creativity, and on the struggle to hold down the kind of life that previous generations took for granted.

Louda Ben Salah-Cazanas avoids melodramatic excess and builds [the story] with enormous delicacy and an unusual sensitivity to capture everyday life... [Full review in Spanish]

Critic's Notebook

A besotted young man working tooth and claw to provide a decent life for the girl he loves is a tale as old as time, but not one often seen in movies anymore.

Carmen Paddock

One Room With A View

The World After Us treads familiar ground and feels less than the sum of its parts -- notably when its New Wave stylings throw it against classics of the genre. By the time the credits roll, however, its heart proves in the right place.

Rated: 3/5

An immensely likable film which imbues the struggles of two young artists with life and joy, while never shying away from larger pressures at play.

Rated: 4/5

Atuações medianas a baixas dos atores, a direção parecia de filmes brasileiros amadores de baixo orçamento, já vi até melhores por aqui, a parte sonora é risível. Parei de assistir na primeira meia hora pois é muito ruim.

Flavio Y

A "Lost" style film, many mysteries and few answers. The film is based on nonsensical dialogue, focusing on discussing "DR" relationships. You keep waiting for an answer that makes sense of the story and that answer doesn't come. It's a film where you need to understand between the lines of the dialogue, it's tiring.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
