Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
It flows along placidly, heated only occasionally by a bit of sex or disco dancing.

fresh:
A melancholy story of romance and regret with moments of drollery and sweetness along the way.

fresh:
Scenes of breezy intimacy mix well with deadpan comic moments, and Noguera's face is that rare male visage that seems boyishly opaque but over time suggests deep reserves of melancholy.

fresh:
Bonsai illustrates the unbearable lightness of loneliness in a quiet, delicate manner.
