Todas las azafatas van al cielo

Wow. This film made me want to go back to Argentina, my birth country. (My family emigrated to the US when I was a small kid and I haven't been to visit Argentina since the early 80s.)

This is a beautifully crafted little story. The effective use of white/snow gives the story a purity and sweetness that enhances the feeling of loss and sadness that the main characters feel. I adored every minute of it. The main character is so cool. You have to speak Argentinean Spanish in order to really appreciate how adorable he is.

I love how this movie shows a different side of Argentina yet it's an Argentinan picture through and through. (The guy who rips off airplane parts is a classic example.) Even the "small" characters in this film are engaging. The nurse, the tour guide/stripper, the taxi driver. (A nod to Argentina's Jewish population.)

This movie would be a great double feature watched with the original Insomnia.

It may be set on a different world within Argentina, but that doesn't take way the fact that it is a well-made movie and runs very well within the context, characters and most beautifully the settings.

You can fell for both Teresa and Julian and their lives especially Teresa. There is a real-life and complex life behind that smiling face, which we tend to not even think of.

Ushuaia has become my dream destination ever since. The people that come into the movie are equally important to the central characters and the story showing how things/places/persons you meet on your way can change and influence your lives.

Really groovy, gloomy movie peripherally about the world's southernmost town, beautiful Ushuaia, Argentina, where I just visited two months ago. Just that setting alone was enough to get me to see it. Unfortunately, a small nightclub, U! Bar, where one of the scenes was shot, no longer exists (I went looking for it). However, a great Irish pub, Dublin, does exist in Ushuaia and totally rocks with the bartenders playing chillout CDs and replicas of R2D2 and C3P0 lean against the corner near the restrooms. There are also great parillas (stakhouses) there, there are great chocolate shops and Tierra del Fuego National Park is nearby. In the summer (January) it doesn't get dark there until nearly midnight. This movie's not bad, either, but really is a nice introduction for anyone wanting to travel to southern Argentina.

Simplistic and predictible plot. I was hoping for an unexpected twist until the end. Burman says that he wanted to make a movie not related to the current situation in Argentina. He succeeded. However, is this goal worth a movie?

I particularly enjoyed this movie. It came to a film festival close to where I live and although it was a very simple movie, it had a light-hearted yet meaningful feel to it. Sometimes simple is the best way to make a movie. Some movies are just too complicated nowadays. You can't have heavy, drama-filled movies all the time, this was a nice change of pace. I also enjoyed the semi-cynical view of death and the suffering that unsatisfied love brings to a person. I don't believe I've ever seen a movie quite like this one and since my primary language is English, it was truly refreshing to see an international film with such content.
