Two young lesbian criminals kidnap a heavy-set girl in Buenos Aires, taking her along on a road trip into the Argentinean wilderness in a hijacked taxi. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing they might live to regret. Or will they? Director Diego Lerman's debut feature is a low-key and rather sweet study of three young women who are more capable of tenderness than they initially seem.
Netflix Rating: 2.4
Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics: A humane, unassumingly quirky rumination on chance and caprice. full review

Dennis Lim, Village Voice

The movie, filmed in arty black and white, has some nice moments of dialogue and an offbeat, quirky rhythm that is slightly hypnotic at times.

Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic

The film has nice black-and-white photography, and attitude to spare, but finally leaves you with that unhappily familiar 'so what?' feeling. full review

Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

Built on small telling gestures and well-observed moments, and periodically rocked by a spasm of everyday weirdness, Suddenly works its charms slowly but steadily. full review

Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times

It's an unusual and interesting piece of filmmaking.

V.A. Musetto, New York Post

An illustration of what happens when new blood hits old or inert cinema: Everything is rejected, or everything is embraced. full review

John Anderson, Newsday

Filmed in a stark, rough, black-and-white style that grabs your sympathy immediately. full review

Elvis Mitchell, New York Times

An absorbing film, balancing on the edge of steady. full review
