| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 27, 2024

Sebastián Borensztein's Heroic Losers (La Odisea de los Giles) is a hilarious heist comedy drama that shows you the best of Argentinian values.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 17, 2023

Heroic Losers' heist itself isn't as entertaining as it wants to be.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 17, 2022

What follows is a well-written and consummately acted caper yarn in which the mood is mostly lighthearted...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 11, 2021

A hugely enjoyable, breezily paced lark that really satisfies with its dry humour and well-aimed backhander at corruption.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 11, 2021

It's an amiable confection with a touch of cold fury at its heart. Most Argentinians will understand the pain behind the comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 9, 2021

It's heroism in down-home style when a shambolic posse of villagers go head-to-head with corporate corruption.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 9, 2021

The film is funny and undemanding but not an outright winner.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 3, 2021

This may be a familiar formula, but the result is nonetheless funny, ingeniously plotted and with plenty of charm and energy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 4, 2019

Made with commendable lightness, precise pulse, biting rejoinder and a dream team of interpreters led by the Messi of the cinema - Ricardo Darín. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 2, 2019

Heroic Losers makes for an inoffensive, risk-averse heist film riding on the charisma of its performers and the satisfaction of its anti-upper-class escapades.

If you like jokes about anarchists... then this southern and rural variant of the perfect crime genre will show you a good time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 25, 2019

The film is fun and, with higher sharp doses of malice, irony and social criticism, it would have been even more transcendental. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 21, 2019

The actors are excellent, the narrative fabric is well-maintained, and the communication between the principal idea of the text and its subplots is achieved. [Full Review in Spanish]

A dazzling script. [Full review in Spanish]
