Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzFirst Mexican production to earn an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Andrea GronvallRoberto Galvadon's 1959 rags-to-riches fable combines magical realism and folkloric elements of Mexico's Indianist movement with results that are alternately comic and poignant.
User Review - 10/10 by Miguel LWhen watching Macario I'm happy to see that its magic has endured since 1960. Although this film distances itself from the happy, naive and joyful musical movies made in the Golden Years of Mexica cinema, it still lacks the cynicism of later productions. The best thing of the film is Macario himself: he speaks little, but we know that behind those eyes, a lot is going on. Roberto Gavaldon engineered a jewel out of Traven's very short book; Igancio Lopez Tarso made a classic with this quiet character, and I was amazed to find in Pina Pellicer one of the most beautiful women in Mexican movies. It is sad to see movies like this are no longer made. Mysticism has no place in Mexican cinema right now (with a few... quite a few, and I mean quite a FEW -near to NONE- exceptions)
User Review - 10/10 by Oscar TThe best mexican movie that I've ever seen. The argument is so creative, Macario represent a good man that is tempted by the devil, the death and God.
User Review - 10/10 by Javier VAn excellent mexican movie, it has good screenplay and good performances, it shows how to appreciate the life and the madness.
User Review - 10/10 by Manuel RA dark and intense fantasy about a man who has nothing of value but what he has, he treasures. This has to be one of the best films to come out from mexico. It's funny but scary at the same time, a true master worck.
User Review - 10/10 by Alejandro EES UNA MUY BUENA PELICULA, VIEJITA ESO SI, PERO ESTUPENDA. TUVE LA OPORTUNIDAD DE VER UNA PUESTA EN ESCENA CON EL SR. LOPEZ TARSO Y DESDE ENTONCES QUISE VER LA CINTA. ESTA FENOMENAL SOBRE TODO LA HISTORIA.
User Review - 10/10 by Rita GThis film made a powerful impression on me when I first saw it as an 8 year old. Its message of how ones choices affect those around rings true still. Only now as an adult have I learned to appreciate the subtly of Igancio Lopez Tarso's portrail of the simple woodcutter.
User Review - 10/10 by Byron BI love this film. It is packed with symbolism!
User Review - 10/10 by Joaquín FUna obra maestra, que más allá de hablar de la muerte y hacer un retrato de la idiosincrasia mexicana, tiene disertaciones acerca de la vida, del bien, del mal, miseria, el poder, la soberbia humana. Tiene aquello que se va olvidando con los años, elementos básicos y ancestrales del día de muertos, usos, costumbres, creencias populares te llevan de la mano y te mantienen al filo de tu asiento. ¡Simplemente genial, increíble, magistral!
