The Puzzle Ratings & Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
It's both funny and touching that one of María's favorite puzzles is an enigmatic portrait of Nefertiti. With her own enigmatic allure, María is the queen of puzzlers.

Nora Lee Mandel
[I]ntimately puts together pieces of a middle-aged woman's liberation into a charmingly fresh whole. . .[with] the burgeoning glow of the quietly expressive Onetto.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
It's a modest journey, but a satisfying one.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
This utterly charming drama about a dutiful middle-class Argentinean mother and wife jolted out of her familial routine when bitten by the picture-puzzle bug is a triumph of execution over an unpromising logline.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Will Maria leave Juan for Roberto? Like the rest of the movie, the answer is routine.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
With minute facial movements, Ms. Onetto can signal feelings that run from rueful to sardonic, while remaining tantalizingly enigmatic.
AV Club
Alison Willmore
Though the film reaches a seemingly artificial either/or scenario with regard to the competitive puzzling, its conclusion is pleasing and not at all pat, a portrait of a woman who's learned she deserves to keep some things for herself.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
The storytelling is as unassertive as its protagonist -- and likewise gets its way in the end.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
So similar to the recent Queen to Play that one half-suspects that the two films' directors shared notes before going into production.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
An perceptive look at an Argentinian housewife into a world of puzzles.
