Viola, [Matias] Piñeiro's latest film is his most accomplished film to date, at once lucid and opaque using an amateur, all-female production of Shakespeare's cross-dressing comedy Twelfth Night. Go to Full Review Tom Keogh Seattle Times 10/31/2013
3.5/4
Pieiro's bold but graceful camera movements, exploring space with unselfconscious joy, speak to a young filmmaker's emerging mastery. Go to Full Review Mark Feeney Boston Globe 09/12/2013

A Buenos Aires production of "Twelfth Night" is point of departure for a buoyant examination of love's labor's lost offstage. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 11/04/2020
3.5/5
Viola is an oddly mesmerizing film that gently asks to be taken in as more a mysterious theatrical poem than something of traditional narrative lineage. Go to Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row 08/07/2019
3/4
The suspense of waiting for the key moment becomes one of the film's defining moments, and the denouement manages to be both joyous and heartbreaking. Go to Full Review Dennis Lim Artforum 06/08/2017
If many recent art films have made prominent use of nonactors, typically cast as some version of themselves, Pineiro's beguiling, hyperverbal movies revel in the transportive potential -- and sheer pleasure -- of actors acting. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/09/2014 Strange, inadequate 65 minute "movie" about several Buenos Aires women chattering incessantly about love and love affairs. They are actresses in a sort of semi-pro production of the Shakespeare play, Twelfth Night. So they're often shown reciting their lines, on or off stage (not costumed). Some mild but boring Lesbian interest here...not offensive. Male writer/director Matias Pineiro strikes me as unhealthily obsessed with all this girltalk (which of course he's supplying for the actresses). See more 04/23/2014 Es rara, pero termina siendo graciosa cuando entre tanta palabra queda una satisfacción en la nada. See more 07/21/2013 What a complete waste of time! Wonder who is going to play the lead when they remake this shit in Hollywood... See more Read all reviews
