Leave your thoughts about Whisky.
| Eye for FilmAnton Biteldirectors Stoll and Rebella have taken a potentially farcical triangle and built from it a bleak meditation on twilit lives and lost opportunities. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisA fine film of few words and very little motion. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThe filmmakers are incredibly adept at relaying so very much almost imperceptibly. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectBonedry but deeply involving film about marginal characters in Montevideo, Uruguay |
| New York TimesManohla DargisA deadpan comedy shot through with a vein of despair, the Uruguayan film Whisky is a pint-size pleasure. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghThe film's measured pace may put off impatient viewers, but the brilliantly underplayed ending is worth the wait. |
| User ReviewRo DSmart, beautiful, touching and simply loveable |
| User ReviewRamses CIt's been my favourite film ever since i first saw it. |
| User Reviewpepe man amazingly funny and touching uruguayan film. |
| User Reviewlucas gcomo si Jarmusch hubiese ido a montevido con una camara en su mano y haya filmado todo esto. Y dije "como si.." porque aunque el aire de Jarmusch se siente en toda la pelicula, aca hay ideas, sentimientos, poder, creatividad y, lo que es mas importante, una historia muy bien contada y con una personalidad unica. La obra mas gende que Uruguay haya dado en mucho tiempo |
