Ariel Ratings & 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.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
Ariel is more interesting in what it foretells than what it achieves. [Full review in Spanish]
