I expected to really love this movie...but I found it just passable as a decent film. The young boy was adorable, and this movie revolves around his thoughts, and ideas. The opening hour is mostly Valentin's own voice-over monologue, setting up his character, and his predicament,... read more
'El sueño de Valentín' was a pleasant surprise. Enjoyable,funny,with authentic acting ,were some of the most certain things the movie offers . This unique story is about the decisions and the life adults make, ' judged ' and watched close by an 8 year old child. Definitely a mu... read more
I absolutely adore this film. Little Rodrigo Noya does a great job and was overlooked at various award ceremonies! It?s a crime this film isn't better known as it easily one of the best in the last ten, maybe even twenty years! Absolutely brilliant!
This little kids got heart! I love how he took it upon himself to solve other peoples problems all the while dealing with problems of his own.What a perfect ending as well
A little boy's world...Discovering the world in his eyes. The importance of being family. And the difficulties of life. The little kid is acting great. His funny eyes and thick glasses and what a gentlemen. How he embarrassed to meet a woman with his folded trousers. With all det... read more
"Valentin" describes a 8 ear-old boy's life in Argentina in the latest 60s in a very accurate way. Through his eyes, behind a pair of big glasses, everything in the world has a solution.
Sweet and charming...
Occasionally charming, but it's as manipulative as it is heartfelt. Full Review
Sporting thick, black-rimmed glasses, a runaway imagination and enough nervous energy to light up Manhattan, Noya turns what could have been a pitiful character into a rambunctious imp. Full Review
The winsome child/unappreciative adults memoir is almost a genre unto itself. But this version is particularly well-cast and well-told. Full Review
Agresti has a decent cast here, but his story is so thin, it threatens to float right off the screen, even when late plot developments add a twist or two. Full Review
A child's film for adults.
Valentin does not quite complete its intended journey deep into our hearts. Full Review
As a whole Valentin is cloying, consistently overplaying its young star's pathos and cuteness. Full Review
A film at once heavy-handed, scattered and heartfelt. Full Review
