The Other Side of the Street is full of the stillness, and silences, of a life that's been muted and shut down.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh

A poignant little film that explores loss and new leases on life with intelligence and care.

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh

An appealingly quirky thriller from Brazil.

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Fresh

[A] tough, sentimental Brazilian drama about two young souls distressed to find themselves in elderly bodies.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Fresh

The Other Side of the Street is more love story than thriller, with the mystery providing only slack tension and the December-December romance that ultimately develops between Regina and Camargo crackling with drama and sexual tension aplenty.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
