Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 9/10 by Walter V. AddiegoBurman's use of handheld camera and his editing convey the messiness of life in the mall's large extended family, but he never allows the hurly-burly of the setting to overwhelm Ariel's story.
Los Angeles Daily News - 9/10 by Bob StraussOne of the most thorough and persuasive coming-of-age stories you're ever likely to see.
Globe and Mail - 9/10 by David GilmourThe film's sophistication -- and it is an immensely sophisticated film -- lies in its refusal to tuck in too tightly its shirttails.
Seattle Times - 8/10 by Tom KeoghThe wit with which Burman casts an almost Shakespearean longing for purpose and direction against the tiny confines of a seedy mall is adroit and inspired.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel - 8/10 by Laura KellyHendler's center-stage performance can be considered refreshingly natural or annoyingly brooding, depending on your tolerance for cynical self-analysis played for comedy.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Laura Cliffordthe type of movie that will slap a smile on your face and keep it there...a unique little world full of characters that surprise and delight
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Susan WalkerAs visually captivating as it is emotionally engaging.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Marta BarberIn Spanish, the title of the film, El abrazo partido, translates into ''a broken embrace,'' a more fitting description of Ariel's feelings for his father.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 8/10 by Andrew WrightNearly overdoses on the quirks at times ... yet always finds a way to stay comfortably above the annoyance line.
ComingSoon.net - 7/10 by Edward DouglasA worthy effort with enough funny situations to keep it entertaining.
