Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Diego SemereneFilmmakers Laura Amelia Guzmán and Israel Cárdenas have crafted a beautiful tale of alienation, solitude, and existential anxiety.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Tom KeoghA mesmerizing, beautiful drama, "Jean Gentil" is the rare film that teaches one to see.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Mark HolcombAlthough it's steeped in tragedies both personal and cultural, this contemplative, gorgeously shot documentary-fiction hybrid from husband-and-wife auteurs Israel Cárdenas and Laura Amelia Guzmán nevertheless keeps an unsentimental distance from its titular saint-savant and the existential crisis he endures.
Time Out - 8/10 by David FearJean Gentil shares a certain searching quality that marked the best of Bresson's films - and for once, the inevitable analogy with his work seems appropriate.
Variety - 7/10 by Boyd van HoeijThe relentlessly dour picture traces the slow voyage into oblivion of a talented immigrant looking for his place in a world that thinks it doesn't need him.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Rachel SaltzThe filmmakers have no patience for details, either basic or telling. Their elliptical method starts to seem lazy, and Jean's plight, a journey from bad to bad, starts to seem a stacked deck. Through it all Mr. Genty holds your attention with his sober dignity. Too bad the filmmakers frequently let that slip into pathos.
