Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: A top-notch heist thriller set in Patagonian forests and southern Argentine cities, a film full of dark, moody atmosphere and richly imagined, indelibly etched characters. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: The moody ambience suggests noir writers David Goodis and Jim Thompson... Read more
Noel Murray, AV Club: The Aura holds together as a dreamy variation on Reservoir Dogs' heist-gone-wrong fatalism and the know-thyself confrontations of David Mamet's Homicide. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: The Aura is richer and less showy than Nine Queens, and it lifts off from the gangster genre to contemplate deeper mysteries. Reminiscent of Antonioni's The Passenger in its obsession with fate and choice. Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: ... sublime psychological thriller ... Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The heart-attack death last year of Fabian Bielinsky ... makes the posthumous release of The Aura, his mysterious drama about an Argentinean epileptic taxidermist caught up in a vivid crime, that much more poignant. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: The voyeuristic focus and camera acrobatics may remind you of Hitchcock, but The Aura is also highly original. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: Whereas Nine Queens was a movie of clockwork precision and blindsiding reversals, El Aura is more internalized and digressive but no less striking, in large part thanks to Darin's mesmerizing performance. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: A hypnotic journey into the head of an epileptic taxidermist with a photographic memory. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The movie's mood is haunting, and its central image of a man able to shed his morality as easily as an old raincoat hints at a filmmaker who had deeper concerns than mere thrills. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: ... a tightly constructed thriller ... Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Read more
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: [The Aura] might be the most original new thriller I've seen since Memento. Read more
David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle: In the end, the film's bigger challenge isn't its length, or its deliberate pace: It's that it's overly freighted with symbolism and meaning. Read more
Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times: Argentinian writer/ director Fabian Bielinksy (Nine Queens) creates a character with an intriguing set of traits that inspire an equally intriguing plot. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: A fuzzy attempt at significance that seems as aimlessly lost in the woods as its heist-plotting characters. Read more
