Innocent Voices Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Screenwriter Oscar Torres based this gripping drama on his own childhood in rural El Salvador...
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
The film is produced by Lawrence Bender, who has produced all of Tarantino's films and many others that uniquely balance humanity in all of its glory and rage.
ComingSoon.net
Joshua Starnes
It's depressing - God, is it depressing - in a way that only a film about growing up amidst a Central American civil war can be, but it is also often uplifting, and that is a tricky balance to pull off.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Based on screenwriter Oscar Torres's childhood, Mandoki's gripping film may pull on the heartstrings too knowingly, but it's hard to forget the sight of the village's children lying silent and still on every rooftop.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This coming of age tale of a boy who suddenly becomes the man of the house is too naive and simplistic to convey the tumultuous political context of El Salvador in the 1980s.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Effective without being overwhelming.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
In the best parts of Innocent Voices, we experience both war's tragedy and its sometimes weird exhilaration -- with innocent clarity.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Mandoki, who with this film returns to the Spanish-speaking cinema after a string of Hollywood films, has brought a sure sense of the visual and taut construction to Innocent Voices.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
The many riveting moments will stay with you for days, and Padilla is well up to the task of carrying this intense story on his tiny shoulders.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It's a harrowing tale, but one that gets phonied up with unnecessary slo-mos, manipulative soundtrack cues, and unrestrained thespianism.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Mandoki never passes up a chance to increase the schmaltz level, but that doesn't lessen the impact of this harrowing account of a hellish childhood.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
A movie with a long echo.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The movie creates a sense of shame that is hard to shake.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The movie wastes no time pulling you in.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Innocent Voices is one of those movies whose heart is in the right place, but its treatment just feels wrong.
Dallas Morning News
Mario Tarradell
Director Mandoki has created a film with the gritty honesty of a documentary and the artistic masterstroke of a finely crafted cinematic piece.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A deeply moving and powerful film.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Because this is history viewed through the eyes of a child, Innocent Voices gives you feelings and impressions, but few facts
Village Voice
Ben Kenigsberg
Innocent Voices is personal in the most limiting sense: a memoir of war-torn El Salvador presented -- with a heaping side of nostalgia -- from the perspective of someone too young to understand it.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A poignant yet harrowing account of children, and in particular one rambunctious boy, during the Salvadoran civil war.
