WHISKY (2004)(Sub)
Masterfully understated comic performances exploit an achingly potent seam of wit just below the surface... a memorably clever and subtle work-- will leave you with a vicious grin. --British Broadcasting CorporationA marvelous Uruguayan film, WHISKY, became one of the festival's most touted offerings.... A sly, haunting tale... the final scene is one of the most perfect and self-assured moments of the year. --Richard Pena, Film CommentThe story of two souls seemingly stuck in neutral (with a third in relentless drive)... a model of both fiscal and narrative economy, and the kind of work gleaned from the mysteries of consciousness... that is too often missing from American independent cinema. ...The story of ordinary life artfully and touchingly told. --The New York Times
