Utterly individual, this is one bank robbery film that writes its own cheques.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 21, 2024

I really like the concept of the film, but whack 30 minutes out of this thing, man. C'mon!

| Nov 29, 2023

I wish it hadn't been so long and attenuated towards the end, but it's definitely still worth seeing.

Effortlessly charming and more than a little generous with its asides, The Delinquents is a film that lays out surprises and delights like a lavish feast – although it’s no surprise for those who’ve been paying attention.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 9, 2023

From unsettled beginning to wondrously open-hearted finale, “The Delinquents” is wise enough not to offer clear or easy answers, beyond its certainty that getting lost is the only way to be found.

| Oct 30, 2023

Part of the sheer joy of watching The Delinquents is not knowing where it’s going next, only to feel that its many tangents and detours were dotted on the path all along.

| Oct 23, 2023

Leisurely paced, thoroughly if not relentlessly deadpan, and quietly contemplative to the point of gentle sleepiness, Moreno’s production is a challenging yet decidedly alive thing.

| Oct 23, 2023

Even with a runtime that exceeds three hours, the ideas and characters explored in "The Delinquents" are incomplete.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 20, 2023

The narrative, despite its crime-drama trappings, ends up as an ambling, affecting, sometimes funny exploration of what it means to live freely in the modern world.

| Oct 19, 2023

Although it seems unimpeded and unhurried by the demands of conflict and resolution, The Delinquents is never boring or tedious. This is partly due to Moreno’s light, humorous touch when it comes to storytelling.

| Oct 19, 2023

The film is not without its charms or a sense of humor.

| Oct 18, 2023

I found parts of “The Delinquents” delightfully hysterical and admired the experiment throughout, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was bored for much of it. I think even Moreno would understand that.

| Sep 11, 2023

The Delinquents alternatingly dares the viewer to read it as a caper flick, a moral parable, a comedy of coincidences, and an existential probe.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 9, 2023

A consistently playful, gradually beguiling existential dramedy on the multitudinous subject of work and freedom.

| May 31, 2023

Rodrigo Moreno methodically unfurls a genius tragicomedy on the elusive nature of freedom.

| Original Score: A- | May 18, 2023

Three hours absolutely whiz by. And you’ll feel like a new person at the end of it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 18, 2023

Rodrigo Moreno’s dreamy and discursive The Delinquents might kick off with one of the most low-key bank robberies anyone has ever attempted, but it’s hard to overstate how thrilling it feels once the thief finally tells us about what he stole.

| Original Score: B+ | May 18, 2023

While the generous running time can feel a little overstretched in the final hour, for the most part, this is a rewarding, humorous fable that meanders between the city and the Cordoba hills, via lakes, hills and a stint in prison.

| May 18, 2023

The intimately cryptic epic is an acquired taste that demands patience, but for those willing to accept its meandering rhythms and puzzle-like structure, it offers many rewards.

| May 18, 2023

If Pedro Almodóvar and Eric Rohmer teamed up to compose a meanderingly long heist movie it might look like this, but something in the film’s waywardness makes it very difficult to fit into the heist genre – or any genre.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 18, 2023
