Portentous dreams infiltrate the Argentine director Carlos Sorn's film The Window.
New York Times
As elegant in its storytelling as in its story, Carlos Sorin's The Window is a tale of age and mortality that firmly resists the 'cute' tag reflexively assigned to movies with old people, and mines a rich, deep vein of melancholy and humor.
Variety
Rating: B+ --
A slight, subtle character sketch, structured and paced like a particularly fine short story.

Rating: 3/4 --
Dialogue and plot are sparse, but such contrivances are unimportant when the acting is superb and the pastoral cinematography, by Julian Apezteguia, is breathtaking.

A character portrait that's sharply restrained and tightly constructed.
