Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The metaphors are so crystal-clear and the story unfolds at such a deliberate, often infuriatingly slow pace that the impact of the drama is muted.
– Sheri Linden,
Los Angeles Times,

fresh:
Claudia Llosa, the director and co-writer, favors wide shots and long takes, which lend an air of realism to the beautifully shot allegory.
– V.A. Musetto,

fresh:
The Milk Of Sorrow is about a country dealing with old wounds and old divisions, and it's about how sometimes it can be easier to cling to pain than to move past it.

fresh:
Trauma is buried and rarely alluded to in this quiet slice of magical realism -- but there's no denying the pain when it comes.
– Joshua Rothkopf,
Time Out New York,

fresh:
The movie, which won the Golden Bear at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival, is littered with unforgettable images of incongruity, destruction, and, finally, healing.
