Critic Reviews

Premiere Alex Kranz

Each new plot point in Suddenly occurs like the title says, but the passage between them is slow, steady, and sure. Read full review

A.O. Scott

When Suddenly finds its soul in the last half-hour, the title begins to make a lovely sort of sense. Read full review

Deborah Young

A delightfully unpredictable sleeper that proves new Argentine cinema really exists, Suddenly, by 26-year-old Diego Lerman, starts scary, moves through deadpan comic and comes out with a whimsical tenderness for its characters. Read full review

Dennis Lim

A humane, unassumingly quirky rumination on chance and caprice. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Just when you think it's a violent drama, it turns into a comic road picture, before finally becoming a tender romance. Read full review

Rich Cline

This isn't a straight-on comedy by a long shot. It's a quirky character study that will make everyone in the audience laugh at different places. Read full review

J.R. Jones

I can't remember when I last hated an art-house movie as much as this one...Other reviewers have praised the film's alleged quirky humor, but I was repelled by the two heartless creeps who set the story in motion and baffled by the protagonist's fascination with them. Read full review
