The very definition of modest, Las Acacias articulates emotional transformation with simplicity and grace. Rarely has a film managed to say so much while saying so little. Read full review

This lovely film is ultimately an articulation of something at once simple and universal: the discontent of traveling through life with sad resignation. Read full review

Exhilarating and moving. This is a very satisfying love story. Read full review

Watching this taciturn man grow close to mother and child - close enough that he experiences twinges of jealousy and abandonment toward the end of Las Acacias - is one of the most satisfying spectacles in a movie this year, a time-lapse of emotions rendered perfectly. Read full review

A moving drama set against beautiful Latin American backdrops - just don't expect fireworks. Read full review

A study in simplicity, perhaps too much so. The writer-director is working in the same patiently observant vein as Argentine confederate Lisandro Alonso (Liverpool), especially in the intriguing early scenes, where the adults communicate mostly through furtive glances and expertly modulated body language.
