Critic Reviews

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

    A film within a film within a film, Even the Rain holds up a hall of mirrors to the Third World and invites us to look in.

  • Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

    The most outstanding performance comes from Aduviri, an indigenous Aymara from Bolivia, who was nominated for the Best Newcomer award at Spain's Oscars, the Goyas.

    Director Iciar Bollain remains such an extraordinary director of actors that in every scene some surprising nuance counters the literalism of the script.

  • Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

    Even the Rain strikes a deep and resonant chord.
