El Father Plays Himself Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Once in front of the camera Roque Thielen transforms his bad behavior into great cinema.
Film Threat
Lorry Kikta
If you like movies-within-movies, making-of documentaries, beautiful nature cinematography, and family drama, El Father Plays Himself has all that and more.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Scarpelli ... is a gentle, observational presence, quietly gathering this remarkable footage of dysfunctional family dynamic with both sensitivity and confidence.
Film Inquiry
Stephanie Archer
I honestly can not recommend El Father Plays Himself enough. It will burrow deep below your skin, locking you in front of your screen.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
A tantalizing house of mirrors.
