Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Comprova a maturidade crescente de seu ainda jovem diretor. Rated: 4/5 Apr 4, 2012 Full Review Kent Turner Film-Forward.com Sustained by one of the best ensembles you're likely to see anywhere this year; almost every feeling and thought is translucent. Rated: 3/4 Aug 11, 2011 Full Review John Esther UR Chicago Magazine A fine film in general, Chil's recent Oscar submission for Best Foreign Language Film will particularly poke (pain?) those who have traveled the more unfamiliar roads... May 13, 2011 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews Most such films are packed with dialog like an overstuffed grocery bag, but The Life of Fish features conversation spoken slowly and sparsely as if every word must count. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 9, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A movie which might help you coping, either struggling with the nostalgia that invades every human who has traveled or loved. Subtle environment and voice tones but it is like a car crashing into you when understood, or worse, experienced. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member The 3rd act falls flat. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A contained story exploring the memories of "the one that got away." Loved it. Great acting. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Been so long since I felt so much by a film... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Si hago review me excedo escribiendo...asi que veanla y la comentamos. Primera película chilena que veo y la verdad este director sera seguido de cerca de ahora en mas... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice treatment about nostalgia done by Bize. Being realistic he gives all attention to each details in this visit of Andrés to his past. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
