Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Stephen Holden, New York Times: The film's passionate insistence on remembrance lends it a moral as well as a metaphysical weight. Mr. Guzman's belief in eternal memory is an astounding leap of faith. Read more
John Anderson, Wall Street Journal: As a work of nonfiction, it deserves its own nomenclature. "Docu-poem" is too inelegant; "masterpiece" works, although it's been used before. Read more
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times: "I am convinced that memory has gravitational force," says Guzman in conclusion. "Nostalgia" states his case so beautifully that even skeptical physicists will be thoroughly convinced. Read more
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe: A nearly unbearable examination of good and bad in the human heart. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: A film of rare visual poetry that's simultaneously personal, political and philosophical, it's a genuine art film that's also unpretentious and easygoing. Read more
Richard Brody, New Yorker: Has the overwhelming power of an outrage to decency. Read more
V.A. Musetto, New York Post: Katell Djian's stunning cinematography adds to the film's power. Read more
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle: Guzman offers a poetic narrative that celebrates the searches and insists on the moral obligation to remember Chile's not-too-distant past. Read more

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: The filmmaker's masterpiece, an exquisitely filmed, poetically written meditation on how past and present fuse in humanity's most unresolved questions. Read more
