Movie Reviews

El Universal - 9/10 by Alejandro AlemánI Dream in Another Language is a wonderful film on life, love and the passage of time, but also tolerance and acceptance of oneself. [Full Review in Spanish]
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Ben SachsA relaxed pace and a gentle tone, allowing the themes of guilt and repressed longing to resonate, and his sympathy toward all the characters creates a winning sense of goodwill.
Butaca Ancha - 8/10 by Mariana FernándezNostalgic and interesting, with an elegant visual style... [Full review in Spanish]
Screen International - 8/10 by Sarah WardMuch of the movie’s success stems from Contreras, his regular cinematographer Tonatiuh Martínez and the rest of the technical team’s handling of its spiritual musings, with a beguiling mood as crucial as the underlying backstory.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranThis is an unusual venture, both charming and serious, that goes in more directions than anticipated, including more than a touch of magic realism.
Variety - 8/10 by Peter DebrugeContreras’ film uniquely honors the memories and experience embodied in our elders — which it is our responsibility to preserve, and their prerogative to take to their graves, if they so desire.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Jonathan HollandThis tale of a young linguist seeking to keep a dying language alive is thought-provoking, visually compelling, and hopefully will help to raise awareness about this indirect form of cultural destruction. But its themes are subordinated to surprisingly bland treatment
Slant Magazine - 5/10 by Keith WatsonJust as the director seems to be settling in to tackle some heady ideas, the screenplay’s stale narrative complications instead overtake the film.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Glenn KennyThe story is not without interest, and it touches on a couple of worthwhile themes: cultural erasure and the way religious and provincial prejudices can suppress love. But its treatment of these subjects is perhaps undercut by its conventionality.
Cine Vértigo - 4/10 by Ernesto DiezmartinezBeyond the fact that the story has some originality in the cultural context of the film, the truth is that the movie becomes repetitive.
