Critic Reviews

Jordan Harper

Following a hardworking, goodhearted man as life beats the hell out of him, this documentary is moving almost to the point of exploitation. Read full review

Sam Adams

Pain, poetry and perseverance form the backbone of Mark Becker's compassionate, well-observed documentary. Read full review

Ella Taylor

If this terrific documentary doesn't adjust your idea of what it means to have a hard life and a good attitude, you haven’t been paying attention. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

The value of Romantico is that it lets us experience vicariously what Carmelo and others like him go through. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

A modest documentary, small in scope and ambition, but it achieves one of the higher callings of art in that it forces viewers to look at a something in a newer, deeper and more humane way. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Tasha Robinson
