  Watchable but slow

  I had high hopes for this film as the story was very watchable but it soon became clear that nothing was going to happen. There were some sparks of brilliance and the characters were superbly crafted yet it lacked any action to keep me watching

  An excellent film

  A wonderful film that manages to elicit tears, laughter and reflection whilst maintaining a simplicity of style and narrative. It does not eulogise nor seek to impress, rather it draws you willingly in to the small world of the few characters around which it revolves.
  
  Whisky evokes the sad yet proud state of Argentina and Uruguay almost as a side point to the storyline that it breezily enjoys.
  
  A brilliant piece of film-making and acting.
