Movie Reviews

sbs.com.au - 9/10 by Simon FosterThe Colombian/Panamanian co-production is a measured yet potent debut for the filmmaker, who exhibits a sublime command of his largely-inexperienced young cast and painter's eye for the lush landscapes they inhabit.
Eye for Film - 8/10 by Amber WilkinsonShot almost entirely from the children's perspective, Arbeláez tackles universal themes of conflict and its impact on ordinary people without getting mired in specific politics.
Maven's Nest - 8/10 by Nora Lee MandelThe simple and stark contrast between playful children in a rustic soccer field and the tension over their modern risk is heart-pounding and breath-stopping.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatPowerful portrait of how civil war transforms the lives of children in a Colombian farm community from a carefree existence to one of fear and growing up too fast.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Michael AtkinsonArbeláez indulges in occasional twinges of Hollywood "emphasis," but mostly the film glides on its matter-of-fact textures.
Time Out - 6/10 by David FearThe film ham-fistedly hammers home its message more than the usual collateral-damage drama.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Rachel SaltzMr. Arbeláez cites Iranian film as an influence, and it's evident in his movie's subdued lyricism and its focus on the boys, whose games and projects - they keep trying to rescue the ball - are treated with a sweetness that steers clear (mostly) of sentimentality.
User Review - 10/10 by Lety CMuy buena, es bonita. Tan real que es muy triste.
