Fresh
A nearly unbearable examination of good and bad in the human heart.
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
Fresh
Guzman offers a poetic narrative that celebrates the searches and insists on the moral obligation to remember Chile's not-too-distant past.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh
The filmmaker's masterpiece, an exquisitely filmed, poetically written meditation on how past and present fuse in humanity's most unresolved questions.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Fresh
A film of rare visual poetry that's simultaneously personal, political and philosophical, it's a genuine art film that's also unpretentious and easygoing.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
