The New York Times by Dana Stevens
An easygoing exercise, impossible to dislike but not especially memorable, engaging but finally derivative:
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?

A modest picture with quiet ambitions that is likely to disappear into that lush tropical rainforest where so many films of this sort, some much worse and others much better, have all gone in time. Catch it while you can.

New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
The story is fascinating for its simplicity and its inherent truths about the downside of progress.

Delightful Bolivian comedy, which also works as a sly critique of mass media.

What appears to be the thrust of the story -- the unraveling of a society -- loses out to a tame, romantic triangle subplot.

Agazzi's movie rather provincially hints at sexiness, humor, and satire without actually manifesting them.

Enchanting, multilayered fable.

Comedy with a light-hearted flair. The cast is charming, and Garcia is especially easy on the eye.
