LOVEFiLM Review Las Acacias

  • 4 stars out of 5  

    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    Stripped back with hardly any dialogue, Pablo Giorgelli's gentle drama is the art of simplicity at its best...

    This is a lovely, poetic and thoughtful film that follows a long journey by truck across Argentina. The dialogue is sparse and the story is unfolded by the eloquent use of camera shots and the subtle suggestion of mood change between the protagonists. The characters reveal themselves as the journey progresses and the final scenes are quietly joyful as the nature of kindness and humanity is gently explored. A film that is about very little but somehow explores what it is to be human and vulnerable.

  • one to watch, really watch

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer , 07 Mar 2013
    A gentle warm film that you really have to watch, i. e. there's so little dialogue that you need to follow the non-verbal communication like a hawk to understand the story that's emerging. Its a joy to spot the subtle shifts between the character's attitudes to each other that lead to an unexpected end.

  • Compelling movie

    Rated - 4.5 stars  
    By Abicon (5 reviews) , 16 Feb 2013
    This is a superb film, steady and deep. No annoying music, the rumble of the truck is the backdrop. I's a love story but you can hardly detect that and find yourself wanting the characters to give more of themselves to each other. The baby should get an Oscar!

  • Worth it but don't expect fast moving action

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Fav (6 reviews) , 11 Feb 2013
    A slow moving movie that was absorbing. Really enjoyed the style and tempo - something about this reminded me of a movie from a few decades ago. Worth watching but don't expect lots of fast moving action!
