Critic Reviews

David Gilmour

Here's a gorgeous little film. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

It's a film of unexpected, almost indescribable off-center charm that deepens as it goes on. Read full review

Dana Stevens

This is a small movie about a small world, but its modesty is part of what makes it durable and satisfying. Read full review

Marta Barber

In Spanish, the title of the film, El abrazo partido, translates into ''a broken embrace,'' a more fitting description of Ariel's feelings for his father. Read full review

Jonathan Holland

A general lack of drama, a low-budget documentary feel and an ultraslim storyline are more than compensated for by a sterling script and performances. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

At its best, Lost Embrace conveys, with real warmth, the hopelessly intertwined pasts and shared futures of a community of outsiders and immigrants. At worst, it's a sitcom without a laugh track. Read full review

J. Hoberman

Despite an absurdly melodramatic premise, Lost Embrace is an essentially plotless series of riffs and jokes. It's 20 minutes too long--forgivable in view of Burman's affection for his material. Read full review
