Dark Blue Almost Black Ratings & Reviews
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
What could have seemed insufferably self-pitying becomes strangely moving instead -- a sign of a filmmaker placing his absolute trust in their material and coming up all the stronger for it.
Entertainment Insiders
Jonathan W. Hickman
A terrific debut from writer/director Daniel Snchez Arvalo.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Bifurcated images, isolating the characters from their dreams and from one another, create a yearning atmosphere that pulls you in; like their director, you really want them to escape.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Director Daniel Sanchez Arvalo would have done well leaving a few subplots on the cutting-room floor. Quality almost always is better than quantity.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
The plotline's complexity is matched by the depth of the issues explored, with the cast uniformly coming up trumps.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
It's a well-acted soap with one too many plot lines, tied together by genteel audio-visual sutures and supported by the brittle metaphor of its title.
Village Voice
Nathan Lee
Tells [a] ludicrously compact, aggressively 'heartfelt,' colorfully contrived story.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
Writer/director Aravalo and a fine cast tell the story with great charm.
Bay Area Reporter
David Lamble
An unexpected crossover between the stories packs an entertaining wallop.
KPBS.org
Beth Accomando
The actors form an appealing ensemble, bringing a warmth and appeal that make the film more compelling than its familiar themes might normally merit.
Oregonian
Stan Hall
The plot of Spanish director Daniel Sanchez Arevalo's well-acted feature debut is the kind that his countryman Pedro Almodovar would imbue with bold colors, acid humor and perhaps a headstrong transvestite.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Daniel Sanchez Arevalo makes an impressive feature debut with this thoughtful, mordantly funny, deeply human film.
WBAI Web Radio
Prairie Miller
This slice of quirky life story about a classy, unattainable suit in a store window, is one classy movie as well, ennobling its host of eccentric and tragic, yet determined and struggling, vividly realized characters.
Cinematical
Martha Fischer
There's an impressive, careful complexity to DarkBlueAlmostBlack that belies the inexperience of first-time director Daniel Snchez Arvalo.
european-films.net
Boyd van Hoeij
Sanchez Arevalo is a worthwhile addition to the growing ranks of providers of solid and entertaining stories taken from life, as seen through a melodramatic prism.
New York Sun
Martin Tsai
Those who have Almodóvarian preconceptions about Spain are in for a surprise.
