The Swamp Reviews
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Experiencing this film ultimately becomes as stimulating as watching metal rust.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
By its end we are glad to see the last of most of its characters, but we will not quickly forget them.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
There may be whispers of reality to this abandon- all-hope vision of Argentina, but it's a truth presented didactically, without eloquence, vitality, or a mordant glimmer of spirit.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Represents an auspicious debut by Argentinian writer-director Lucretia Martel.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
A stunning deconstruction of bourgeois complacency in the face of pastoral decay.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
An early image of a suntanned chest impaled by the shards of a broken wine glass becomes an emblem of Martel's ability to draw blood from her subject matter.
Chicago Reader
Meredith Brody
Every shot is dense with life, with children and animals running in and out, yet the movie is highly focused, a small masterpiece.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
There's a real energy in the way that La Cienaga takes nothing for granted -- except your attention and your intelligence.
Miami Herald
Marta Barber
Martel glues together a disjointed picture of a society where tension lies only skin deep.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
The triumph of La Cienaga lies in Martel's way of fashioning the kind of ensemble performance that draws us in by convincing us we're watching behavior, not acting.
Chicago Tribune
Patrick Z. McGavin
A film that has an extraordinary cumulative power.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A subtle yet acute observation of upper-middle-class decay.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
It's entrancing and unsettling at the same time, the kind of film that makes you feel decadent just for bearing witness.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Creates a vision of social malaise that feels paradoxically familiar and new.
Citysearch
Bilge Ebiri
Seems designed only to shock and depress, a film devoid of much insight or humanity.
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
A debut feature that's assured in every aspect.
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
Martel doesn't try to connect the dots with typical continuity editing either, opting instead to focus on textures and fleeting movements
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
...the air is equally thick with boredom and dread.
