Movie Reviews

Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin CliffordThat such a simple film makes you want the answers [to the questions] tells of the talent of new filmmaker, Paz Encina.
New York Times - 9/10 by Nathan LeeThat Paraguayan Hammock happens to be one of the few features to emerge from Paraguay in recent decades in no way diminishes its rarity.
New Yorker - 7/10 by Richard BrodyEncina's film, balanced exquisitely between the concrete and the abstract, between the specific and the absolute, is a quietly devastating indictment of the eternal waste of youth as cannon fodder in this and all wars.
Village Voice - 6/10 by J. HobermanParaguayan Hammock is like a piece of music that improves with familiarity.
User Review - 10/10 by Grant DThis is either the best or worst film I have ever seen. There is literally only 15 cuts in the ENTIRE movie. Most of the action consists of a married couple bickering back and forth on a hammock in the middle of the jungle. Only their lips aren't moving! I'm not sure if it is a meditation on the monotony of life in the "campo," or a budgetary necessity. Its also a heartbreakingly sad critique of war. 5 stars, rather than zero, because I'm going to Paraguay this summer.
User Review - 8/10 by Alejandro Vdespués de 30 años, se estrenó nuevamente una producción totalmente paraguaya. Hablada en guaraní, es una hermosa historia, sobre un hijo que fue a la guerra del chaco y no volverá. El dolor de los padres por la perdida de su hijo. La historia de dos personas que en una hamaca sale a relucir lo tradicional del pueblo paraguayo
User Review - 8/10 by Carlos MA fascinating (and simple) way to tell a sad, touching story, using long static shots of the couple's daily life as a visual anchor for extradiegetic dialogue and atmospheric background sounds (the forest and the rain) - all done through an outstanding, immersive sound work.
User Review - 8/10 by Mark LGrant and me being pretty much the only people in the entire contiguous united states, it was a very boring. but while it was boring, i was beeing entertained. The language, guarani, which i have never heard, sounded very interesting. The story of a worn torn family dealing with the daily monotony of a peasant life was good. I did love the one closeup to the mans face. i also loved the fact that the entire movie id voiced over, there are no mouthes moving. but still, while i first thought the movie was boring, reflecting on it I see that it had very paraguayan themes that were expressed in the movie. thinking back on Paraguays war in the 19th century that wiped out half of its male population, and was only stopped by the grace of grover clevland ( or garfield can't remember), this movie has a signifigant message about life and the meaning of war
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DA peculiar but interesting style, the majority of film is in long shot, and there's probably less than 20 cuts in the whole thing. It's not really about the style though, more a voice over retrospective of coming to terms with the loss of a sun. Very strange, difficult to watch, but it does have something about it.
User Review - 6/10 by a zI'm sure Frasier would have loved a double bill of this and 'Noch ein Stuhl'.
