Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
There's not much to savor in the way of plot, and the film aimlessly wanders through Marietta's life.
– Connie Ogle,
Miami Herald,
10 Nov 2006
fresh:
Showing a stylistic bravura and confidence rare among upcoming Spanish helmers, Ramon Salazar's campy 20 Centimeters is a self-regarding but vastly entertaining sophomore effort.
– Jonathan Holland,
Variety,
9 Nov 2006
fresh:
Director Ramon Salazar, in only his second feature, distinguishes himself from others who so less effectively bend genres, and genders.
– John Anderson,

rotten:
Here's yet another self-consciously 'Almodovarian' confection, studded with small odes to the glory of self-creation.
– Scott Brown,

rotten:
Size plays a major role in this brash, vivacious concoction of dark comedy, light drama and musical performance.
