Valentin Reviews

[Highly rated reviewer]

unmemorable, literally

I started watching this when a couple of scenes seemed familiar and I realised I had seen it some time before and obviously it had made so little impact on me that I had forgotten and booked it now. Switched it off immediately.

Superb

I can highly reccomend this film, child actor was an absolute star. This is an absolute gem!

Worth A Rent

An enjoyable film that doesn't rely on sentimentality to convey its message. The lead character's acceptance of his fate and his attempts to make the most of what he can make out of his world are refreshing to watch. The film does not outstay its welcome in terms of its running time offering a satisfactory closure. For anybody prepared to invest time in a well constructed storyline around a simple premise with the odd twist and quality acting this could be for you.

Valentin is autobiographical so check out the interview with the director, and the alarmingly misguided American trailer for the film, which fails hopelessly to recognize Valentin's subtle low key narrative approach to its comedy and drama.

Valentin

This film is a joy to watch, the child actor plays his role with humour, intelligence and sensitivity that you wouldn't expect in a person of his age. If you enjoy quirky, off beat, thoughtful films then I highly recommend it.

Moving

I loved this film. Valentin's acting is impeccable, a moving story seen through a boys large pair of glasses. It is heart warming, humorous and totally engaging.

Funny and dramatic at the same time

This child can act! What a star. The lines are funny and the story is thought provoking.

Valentin is a smart little boy!!

I watched this with friends and we were all delighted with the film. Overall good feel picture with things to say.

Customer Review

The little boy who plays the character 'Valentin' is so captivating that he has to be the best child actor I have seen in a long time.

Never mind the subtitles, just watch this wonderful film.

I loved the setting, a few streets, humble homes and an amazing school. The children dressed in uniform consisting of a white lab coat and they carried little briefcases. Valentin's spectacles and eyes are a wonderful motif.

It's the best film I have watched this year.

Cannot fail to move

A most moving film that analyses and faces directly the problems of human relationships. But it does it in a most astonishing way through the senses and mind of the juvenile star. He is brilliant almost beyond belief.

Charming Argentinian Film

Set in Argentina this is the story of a young boy whose parents are divorced and he lives with his grandmother. Without being sentimental this is a charming and very entertaining film. Recommended.
