Award-winning director Daniel Burman returns with The Tenth Man, a well-observed comedy that wrestles with notions of identity, home and the intricacies of the father son relationship. After years away, Ariel returns to Buenos Aires seeking to reconnect with his father Usher, who has founded a charity foundation in Once, the city's bustling Jewish district where Ariel spent his youth. In the process of trying to meet his father and getting entangled in his charitable commitments, Ariel also reconnects with his own Jewish roots. Usher staves off a meeting with his son; roping him into a number of small assignments, during the course of which Ariel meets Eva, who volunteers for Usher’s charity. Eva's radiant inner strength and independent spirit inspires Ariel to come to grips with the the traditions that once divided him and his father and rethink his own identity. Tenderly, and with a lightness of touch, he has Ariel let go of his old expectations and allow himself to be drawn into the center of a vibrant and fascinating community.

평점 및 리뷰

I really liked this movie! It's kind of weird and quirky, but as a weird quirky person myself, I appreciated it. It's sort of formulaic and predictable as far as the adult child had an axe to grind with the parent who wasn't what the offspring wanted him to be. Child gets to know parent as an adult and understands why parent is the way he is and all is sort of forgiven. But the way it gets there is interesting and as a non Jew, non Argentinian there was a lot of otherness about it that I liked.

What a piece of Sh** Worst argentine movie in a long time, there is no story at all in this "movie", bored, slow and flat, best part when it ends.

Buenísimos personajes y excelente diálogo. Me conmovió mucha la elegante simpleza de cómo se achica la distancia entre el padre y el hijo, prácticamente sin verse.
