A lazy exercise in cute minimalist humor, low-budget but visually glossy Mexican film Lake Tahoe is so dry and slight that it threatens to drift right off the screen.

Juan is a Mexican teen living in a small town whose father has recently passed away. In his grief, Juan sets out to repair his used car, which was a gift from his father. On his quest, he meets an eccentric cast of characters who help Juan find what he needs for his vehicle and maybe, what he needs for himself.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
A surprisingly refreshing experience, especially in a season of infernal cinematic busyness.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Exquisitely captured in natural light by the cinematographer Alexis Zabé, Juan’s journey is framed by sherbet-colored houses and lemon sidewalks, dipping palm fronds and a burnished, turquoise horizon. The director calls his style "artisan cinema"; I just call it dreamy.
With Lake Tahoe, Mexican filmmaker Fernando Eimbcke proves himself adept at turning a blank screen into a work of art.
