Bonsái Ratings & Reviews
Battleship Pretension
Jack Fleischer
This is a moving story that deserves to be seen, discussed, and rewatched.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
I got a kick out of it despite trying to resist it.

J. Hoberman
Chilean director Cristián Jiménez's "Bonsái" is the essence of cosmopolitan provincialism. A superbly grounded, programmatically small, meta-literary tragicomedy of student-boho life.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
It flows along placidly, heated only occasionally by a bit of sex or disco dancing.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
A melancholy story of romance and regret with moments of drollery and sweetness along the way.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Scenes of breezy intimacy mix well with deadpan comic moments, and Noguera's face is that rare male visage that seems boyishly opaque but over time suggests deep reserves of melancholy.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Bonsai illustrates the unbearable lightness of loneliness in a quiet, delicate manner.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
This isn't a story of Shakespearean proportions, but it's a sweet peg for this complex, carefully constructed gem.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
In clumsier hands it would be easy to get lost amid the expanding thicket of narrative twists.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A creative film from Chile about love, books and bonsai.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
Cristin Jimnez's film knows how entangled the will to know is with the will to make love.
Village Voice
Benjamin Mercer
Bonsi seems like a veritable thicket of illuminating references and correspondences. A kind of poetry sprouts up even in some of the inevitable sad-twee flourishes.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
intriguing because of its Escheresque style of storytelling, but its intellectual appeal fails to reach the heart
Variety
Robert Koehler
One of the finest accomplishments from the freewheeling new generation of Chilean filmmakers.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Michael Nordine
Jimnez either doubts his audience's ability to figure things out on their lonesome or his own ability to subtly convey them - maybe both.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Cristin Jimnez likes quirkiness and his enthusiasm for it, evidenced in his first film Optical Illusions and again here, goes a good way to convincing you to take the ride.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
A youthful, melancholy film that draws on literature and writing for its inspiration.
