Valentin Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Whether you ease into the languid and semi-treacly flow of this big-hearted Argentinean import or instead scoff at the child's-eye platitudes contained within will have much to do with your tolerance of preposterously cute moppets in dire straits.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Sporting thick, black-rimmed glasses, a runaway imagination and enough nervous energy to light up Manhattan, Noya turns what could have been a pitiful character into a rambunctious imp.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
The winsome child/unappreciative adults memoir is almost a genre unto itself. But this version is particularly well-cast and well-told.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A child's film for adults.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Valentin does not quite complete its intended journey deep into our hearts.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The movie plays simply on the surface.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
A heartfelt story that would have been a sickly sweet mess in the hands of a Hollywood studio.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
A film at once heavy-handed, scattered and heartfelt.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Heartfelt and artfully shot.
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
The film is plenty charming, but lacks a connection to its time and place that would put Valentin's dilemma in context.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film is warm and intriguing.
Dallas Morning News
Jane Sumner
Seen as the wishful coming-of-age of a writer, who escapes tribulation through imagination, the semi-autobiographical movie seems less sentimental and makes a lot more sense.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
... features one of the best performances by a child actor that I've seen in a long time.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
The characters in the Argentinean heart-warmer Valentin spend so much time squabbling and yelling that after a while I began to long for a nice movie about a family of mutes.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
A sweet, often poignant little film.
USA Today
Mike Clark
It makes February's Monsieur Ibrahim linger in the mind even more pleasantly.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
A slight variation on a formula that, from Central Station to Kolya, has become all too familiar in the art houses.
Observer
Rex Reed
Funny, gentle and utterly captivating.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Agresti fattens us up with the kind of kid's-eye-view tragi-comic adventures that regularly supply empty calories in artificially sweetened foreign-language imports like this one.
Village Voice
Ben Kenigsberg
This loosely autobiographical tale feels inorganically upbeat, with all potentially upsetting material glossed over or truncated.
