Wesley Morris · Boston Globe 75.00/100.00

A family melodrama with charm.

BRUCE 4.00/5.00

不得不说这片确实凶狠无比。它故事有点形似《雷雨》。技法上堪比苹果手机,就连一个开门声都参与了叙事。在戏剧性和商业上其实是有所照顾的,比如一遍又一遍地让泰特罗说出事情的真相或者是让泰特罗面对成功与背弃自己的二选一,再或者之后的大团圆结局,都极具戏剧性。为什么很多人说能看出史诗感?其实它是一个家庭悲剧,重在悲剧,悲剧成就史诗。这个悲剧其实自古有之,把人性中的势利,贪婪与自大做出诠释。放到电影中就是父亲这个角色是世俗中的成功者。这里的两性其实也是双向的,女人会像苍蝇一般围着成功者,成功者也会肆无忌惮地把儿子的女朋友娶回家。所谓悲剧史诗从一个角度来说就是把道德沦丧的恶心事艺术化。

Calvin Wilson · St. Louis Post-Dispatch 100.00/100.00

Shot mostly in black and white and imbued with a romanticism that's at once nostalgic and exhilarating, Tetro sneaks up on you. What threatens to be a mere exercise in style proves to be as involving as it is inventive.
