Ariel Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It's too tired to be angry. It's resigned. The more you think about it, the last scene, the "happy" ending, may be the only really angry scene in the movie.
Eye for Film
Anton Bitel
a compelling blend of gritty realism and escapist fantasy
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
Ariel is more interesting in what it foretells than what it achieves. [Full review in Spanish]
