| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreA darkly comic and cynical Uruguayan thriller about The Holocaust. A little loopy, but it works. |
| User ReviewLois Ba sweet movie that touches on profound truths |
| User ReviewMahmut AA black comedy that finds humour and truth through it's well written script and oddball yet likeable protagonists. |
| User ReviewAndres GInteresting and fresh movie with good cast. Really remarkable the performance by Néstor Guzzini. The dramatic part is really good and the staging of the comedy is nice but it fails to be really funny when it needs to be. |
| User ReviewPablo EA black comedy of perception and reality... there were moments of fun and laughter but i went away in a sombre frame of mind... |
