Critic Reviews

Not since "Y Tu Mamá También" has a movie so palpably captured the down-to-earth, flesh-and-blood reality of high-spirited people living their lives without self-consciousness.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

It's slight but in a haunting way, like a half-remembered dream.Full Review

Stephen Hunter
Washington Post

If you prefer your domestic clashes sunnier and more strenuously poetic, Respiro may be your respite. If nothing else, it's a reminder of how severely underutilized Valeria Golino is as both actress and cinematic glory.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

A cheerful, life-affirming film, strong in its energy, about vivid characters. It uses mental illness as an entertainment, not a disease.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

A beautifully composed tone poem about unspoken group dynamics in an isolated community. It is also, in its way, about how love endures.Full Review
