    • Miami Herald

    • Miami Herald

    Saura's storytelling style draws us deep into Goya's world, a disturbing but bittersweet place that can look hauntingly modern.
  10. Documentary of riveting personal stories.
    • Miami Herald
  11. A competent but not extraordinary action-comedy.
    • Miami Herald
  12. Simply creaks with contrivance -- particularly in its overwrought finale.
    • Miami Herald
  13. It's an eye opener to how quickly a society can switch from being open and tolerant to pointing fingers -- and worse -- at those deemed different.
    • Miami Herald
  14. A rich, marvelous movie -- the kind that enchants on so many different levels, it leaves you feeling giddy.
    • Miami Herald
  15. Sporadically engrossing in a pulpy kind of way.
  16. It feels like three movies stitched together.
  17. Digs deep into the roots of female fortitude.
  18. A shockingly, unbelievably bad movie.
  19. This misguided gangster rap movie had every strike against it from the start.
  20. Silly, overplotted conspiracy thriller.
    • Miami Herald
  21. A movie of marginal ambition and multiple cute young faces.
    • Miami Herald
  22. Bogs down in a deep muck of inevitability.
  23. It's the slum, the favela, that emerges as Orfeu's most compelling character -- criminally poor yet rich in life.
    • Miami Herald
  24. Isn't riveting, but it's diverting enough.
  25. Amiable, sporadically amusing farce.
    • Miami Herald
  26. A long overdue look at the man's art and an unself-pitying and unsparing exploration of her (his daughter's) relationship with him.
    • Miami Herald
  27. Exuberant, often hilarious.
  28. A high-tech freak show, a gallery of grotesqueries that are fascinating and repellent.
    • Miami Herald
  29. The whole thing's grotesque as a gargoyle and ugly as sin.
