Rolando Gallego EscribiendoCine The dialogue is simple and effective, the resonance of the Aymara language almost musical in construction. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Oct 26, 2021 Full Review Alejandro Lingenti La Nación (Argentina) Eternity is a story crossed by the weight of the old age, more pressing when there is no one who collaborates to alleviate it at least a little. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 28, 2019 Full Review Gaspar Zimerman Clarín It's a wrestling of wisdom and faith against time and natural forces. [Full review in Spanish] Feb 28, 2019 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Eternity is far from being boring or hollow. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Feb 27, 2019 Full Review Juan Luis Nugent Cinencuentro Óscar Catacora's first feature film is a manifesto of sublime rebellion like few others. [Full review in Spanish] May 7, 2018 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine Forget definitions like "commercial", "non-commercial" or "independent"; 'Wiñaypacha' is a great story worth watching in the theatre, period.

MARTHA REGINA M Esta película muestra una realidad olvidada. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Roberto S Two elder Aymara non-actors, a breathtaking location in the mountainous region of Perú with beautiful snowy peaks and a contemplative tone… but, what could have been an insightful and unique documentary shedding light on such an interesting culture, ends up being a maudlin fictionalized tale with an ambiguous message: if you don’t stay with your parents in a harsh environment forsaking your personal/professional goals, you’re a selfish individual who should be ashamed of yourself. Besides that, the film dragged on with static shot after static shot, thus wasting the opportunity of showing a wider and more detailed view of the magnificent landscapes the Peruvian Andes has to offer and turning its 1h28m running time into, well, an eternity. I think most of the ballyhoo this movie got was somehow condescending and relied on the “exotic” qualities of its director, leading characters and location. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Luis M. D Esta no es propiamente una película. Es un documental actuado, consistente casi exclusivamente en tomas estáticas, acompañadas de largos silencios, casi sin diálogos y filmada enteramente en un mismo lugar, en la sierra peruana. La película está dirigida casi exclusivamente a antropólogos, sociólogos y en general críticos sociales. No creo que sea apta para otro público. Tenga en cuenta esto si desea verla. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Increible, es la única paralabra para describirla. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Oscar Catacora's first and sadly last film is, to say the least, heartbreaking. Millimetrically planned, Wiñaypacha is also a window to the culture and pain of a community, a history of old age and abandonment, as well as hopes that will remain forever as that. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Retrata muy bien la realidad de muchas personas, me parece que es una muy buena película del cine peruano Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
