Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Little Acuna -- who looks even younger than 11 -- gives a sweetly unaffected performance as the beleaguered child. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Sweet but not especially original. Read full review

Sheri Linden

A frequently charming, if ultimately slight, coming-of-age tale. Read full review

Robert Koehler

Nocturnal settings and musical interludes create their own kind of allure, but picture feels like an art film imitation, not an authentic art film itself. Read full review

Charles Petersen

Though Momo is dedicated to "the missing children and the children who are coming to save the world," the most provocative question it asks is whether, with its conspicuous product placement, the film was secretly backed by Coca-Cola. Read full review

Andrea Gronvall

Pretentious and dull, this Uruguayan exercise in magical realism takes place during the annual carnival in Montevideo. Read full review
