Infused with equal measures of work and domestic drama and a sense of helplessness in his situation, the movie is full of emotional moments, brought to life on the screen by a talented cast.

Flaws notwithstanding, Un Traductor is a sensitive, eye-opening account that could travel widely.

We sympathize with him despite his familial transgressions. Each Russian child's plight is captivating and harrowing. The Barriuso brothers succeed in creating a film that is equally heartbreaking and inspiring.

Rated: 4/5

Indeed, the Barriusos make the personal feel just that - sometimes, in the storytelling, in a well-worn fashion, but movingly enough all the same.

A beautiful movie, that is still haunting me several days after I saw it. The scene with the main character reading aloud the poem of a Russian boy about the beauty of the light of the Chernobyl explosion was especially moving.
