Family Law

"A deft, witty and emotionally rewarding study of a thirtysomething man in his roles as father and son"

Variety

"Delicate, bittersweet comedy…The film’s most touching moments find Ariel bonding with his 2½-year-old-son while Sandra goes on a Pilates retreat. In the scenes of this adorable, happy little boy reaching out to his father, you can feel a bond of trust and devotion deepening into a lifelong attachment"

The New York Times

"(Burman) makes lovely use of ellipses throughout, speeding the story along without sacrificing character nuance…his actors bring heart to a film that blares with fine details"

Slant

"A very articulate comedy about fatherhood and marriage…The style is casual, the dialogue and narration sharp. There’s an excellent Cesar Lerner score that sounds a bit like Dave Brubeck on the beach. The actors, to a man and woman, nail their parts"

Chicago Metromix

"A funny, rueful tale of a Buenos Aires yuppie caught between his father and fatherhood. It’s a deceptively small film, one whose observations may continue to detonate quietly in your mind after the lights have come up"
