'pooppacoopa' you're an idiot....why do people bother submitting a nonsensical review for a movie they've obviously never seen? I loved this film, I... was surprised at it's low metascore...I thought it had a wonderful script, beautiful acting, and I laughed and cried throughout. It was absolutely precious. Made me miss my dad who passed away two years ago. One critic called it "rote"...not in the least....just because you can see where a story is leading doesn't ruin it. This film touched my heart, it was SO romantic! Full Review

Worth seeing just to admire how Argentine writer-director Marcos Carnevale avoids so much as a whiff of condescension.Full Review

A sweet but inconsequential romantic comedy.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The film may be fearlessly sentimental, but it is sturdy enough to provide rewarding major roles for two veterans, who are of an age when such starring parts are rare.Full Review

Elsa & Fred does graze against an interesting idea: that the vitality of our youths lives on in the prison of aging bodies.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

Predictable fare that only occasionally fulfils its intention of being simultaneously heartbreaking and heartening.Full Review
