Leave your thoughts about The Guatemalan Handshake.
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineDeliberately quirky almost to the point of distraction, this offbeat comedy is an enjoyably puzzling film. |
| Film ThreatDoug BrunellAn entertaining and visually exciting film. It has an oddly meandering pace that is riddled with quirky characters in weird situations. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill StametsOn the index of quirk, this winsome indie scores quite high. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealAn understated, surrealist comedy that is more successful at being weird than funny. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlAlthough Rohal's goal seems to be a rich character study, the movie works best as a celebration of small-town Americana that persists well into the 21st century. |
| User ReviewPrivate UMy favorite movie of 2007. Basically perfect. |
| User ReviewJason KIt's been two years since I saw this at Sidewalk; it was my favorite film of 2006. It's somehow even better than I remembered, which is saying a LOT. |
| User ReviewCurtis LViewed 9/1. This idiosyncratic film falls into a specific spot on the Indie Americana Venn diagram -- basically where "All the Real Girls," "Napoleon Dynamite," and "Gummo" meet one another. The high quirk factor may be cloying to some, and the film isn't especially careful in its use of race, but there are plenty of arresting moments here, and Sheila Scullin gives a knockout performance. |
| User ReviewCraig GThis film was like a version of Gummo that wasn't completely surrounded in depression and despair. It followed a number of quirky individuals around a midwestern town. The sense of humor in it resembled Napoleon Dynamite, so if you enjoyed that film, I recommend this. |
| User ReviewRia Ti think there something in this movie that if not viewed in the right light, could make it a total collapse. however i was lucky enough to view this in a perfect mode in which proved to show the movies beautiful symmetry with life. the snapshots of remembrance each character had was so accurate because it showed the hasty emotions and random words conjoured up from longing. the movie felt like life. |
