A black and white meditation on boredom, young lust and determination in the face of nothing better to do and being young enough to know that you've got to make the most of it. Of course, the whole movie is an expression of friendship. What better way to show you love someone th...( read more)
Simple and fresh. Those are the adjectives that best describe Duck Season. A funny, honest and genuine look at an ordinary sunday afternoon in the life of two 14-year-old kids, with video games, pizza, Coca Cola and the typical issues of early adolescence (the discovery of...( read more)
It deals with everything and nothing, but mostly everything. From ages 12 to 20, this movie broke several hearts: it's made for us. And only for us. The choices you make right now, may not be the ones that ruin or improve your life: but they can reaaally make you miserable. Lonel...( read more)
What to do in a monotonous sunday? Sundays are always boring, anyway.
But if the lights go off and you can´t play videogame anymore?

A modest film, a black and white contemplation of boredom; a summer day encapsuled in a charmingly quiet film about adolesance, friendship and life.
The fullness of Duck Season is in direct proportion to its smallness; its modesty makes it bloom. full review
A quiet, loopy gem, Duck Season is a goofball celebration of old friends, new beginnings, adolescent freedom, and baked goods laced with a little something extra. full review
Not much happens in Duck Season, but it's never dull: Eimbcke, a Spanish filmmaker making his feature debut, finds just the right note with his young actors and fills his film with telling detail. full review
The stage is set, not quite for action--the delightful, odd ball group never leaves the apartment--but for a little sexual experimentation, serious baking, casual drug use, and the kind of unexpected,... full review
Not very much really happens in Duck Season, but in its rich details, it remembers how absorbing and endless every single day can seem when you're 14. full review
Duck Season hits every one of its modest marks and then some. It's the kind of movie to send you out looking at strangers on the street with newfound appreciation and something close to love. full review
