Reseñas de la crítica

An Odd Turn makes a curious yet highly accurate and original combination between sexual desire and the value of the dollar... Never has that connection felt as strong as it does in this short about labor, sex, and money. [Full review in Spanish]

[An Odd Turn,] aside from working well as a romantic comedy, also stands as a visual record of a historic moment in Argentina's history. [The short] positions Francisco Lezama as one of the most interesting voices in the Latin American short film scene. [Full review in Spanish]

Lezama’s short films are, at first glance, cryptic enough to keep a certain distance from the average viewer. However, when we adjust our perspective, we begin to notice authorial traits that make his powerful fictional artifacts resonate in a distinctive way. [Full review in Spanish]

Lezama portrays a generation with its desires and priorities. In doing so, he masterfully ties together two vectors of desire: money and sex. [Full review in Spanish]

An Odd Turn is a film that neither judges nor condemns its characters. It unfolds them in what could be seen as a generational sketch—a mirror for the audience, and a requiem for a world that no longer exists. [Full review in Spanish]

Lezama presents the viewers with a short that weaves together numerous disparate elements into a harmonious package, which works wonders in the end... It is a true piece of brilliance in and of itself, but you can be sure that the movie will compel you to spend hours considering our own intended ending.

An Odd Turn (Un movimiento extraño) thrums with a sense of classicism and mystery, yet feels plugged into the uncertainties of Argentina’s current reality... [It] eschews conventional narrative plotting in favour of creating a peculiar yet beguiling vibe.

In An Odd Turn, nothing is decorative; everything is connected with something else, and no scene feels expendable: a painting in the shadows, forgetting the name of a slum… these are some of the details that reveal a robust film and a filmmaker confident in his materials. [Full review in Spanish]

Every time you think you've finally grasped where this little Borges-style narrative puzzle is heading, it elegantly slips through your fingers. Winner of the Golden Bear for Best Short Film, An Odd Turn is a testament to the narrative inventiveness of contemporary Argentine cinema. [Full review in French]
