The subtlety of the film's elegant craft, the restraint of ulk's characterful screenplay, and the superb chemistry between the two lead actors ... gives "The Interpreter" a respectful, quiet resonance.

7/10

A film that directly impacts the viewer's heart, speaking of forgiveness and recognition of the victims through a road movie. [Full review in Spanish]

3.5/5

3.5/5

For the most part this is a lyrical and lightly handled odd couple road movie that achieves a subtle resonance, although it is almost scuppered by a sudden major tonal shift in the film's final act.
