A woman vanishes. Two men take to the road in search of her: they both love her. Why did she leave? Each one of them has his own suspicions, and hides them from the other one who -- mysteriously -- never truly becomes his rival. Neither is right -- but is anyone? This sudden run away becomes the hidden core of a number of fictions that the film delicately weaves together: the secret of the heart of another woman, lost as well, many years ago; the secret of the life of a village in the countryside, governed by a supernatural incident that nobody seems to perceive; the secret of the plains, which never ceases to spread and devour everything, like the shadows that invade the world after the twilight hour.

Jonathan Romney Financial Times With hints of a Latin American Twin Peaks or X-Files, Trenque Lauquen plucks the bizarre out of the everyday, to laid-back but altogether magical effect. Rated: 5/5 Dec 7, 2023 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies An extraordinary achievement in both narrative storytelling and thematic originality. Rated: 5/5 Dec 5, 2023 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Cult status beckons. Rated: 3/5 Dec 4, 2023 Full Review William Stottor FILMHOUNDS Magazine Part Two is inevitably more heavy on exposition than its predecessor, which can feel a bit blundering, although the lengthy explanation of Laura's disappearance—told via a voice recording from Laura—is still hugely engrossing. Rated: 5/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ‘…an absorbing exploration of the connection between myth and reality in a supple world where there’s no scientific way of knowing which is which…describes a subversive world that’s carefully constructed and designed to evade any attempt to define it…’ Rated: 5/5 May 30, 2024 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central Trenque Lauquen is unclassifiable (if akin to a Márquez novel) and endlessly compelling. It's wonderful. Jan 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
