PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"Director Juan José Campanella weaves a moral fable that manages to pack a powerhouse punch and still be as intimate as a whisper."You won't be able to get this supremely intelligent and deeply touching thriller out of your head (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)"
(Peter Travers: Rolling Stone) ----------------------------------------
"A complete, engrossing, lovingly crafted film. (...) This is a real movie, the kind they literally don't make very much anymore. (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times) ----------------------------------------
