Rotten
A taut, darkly comic drama about the dilemmas of international intervention in civil war, all of it neatly symbolized by one elusive length of rope. It is also, sadly, a film much marred by its sexism.

Overview
Somewhere in the Balkans, 1995.

A Perfect Day is a war story told on a small scale. It's all the more powerful for its subtlety.
Liz Braun, Toronto Sun

This is one of those rare, thoughtful war movies that doesn't emphasize brutality.
John Hartl, Seattle Times

With an eclectic soundtrack, well-timed editing and crisp cinematography - and of course that terrific cast led by the great Del Toro - A Perfect Day is a rough-edged gem.
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
The film may be scattershot and odd, but it needs to be odder still.
