Critic Reviews
-
Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times
The stunning Los Muertos plunges the viewer directly into its protagonist's world.
-
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
It's a tremendous experience, whatever it is; the kind of thing supposed art-movie audiences used to tolerate and pretty much don't anymore.
-
Nathan Lee, Village Voice
See Los Muertos with virgin eyes; this cool-headed enigma is best approached cold, ignorant of everything but the title.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
An hypnotic journey into the Argentine jungle.
-
Jason Anderson, eye WEEKLY
The film's slow, sublime vistas elicit questions about our relationship with the natural world, which is never as straightforward as we might hope.
