- 80SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirThoroughly wonderful.
- 75New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoDirector-writer Pablo Tapero keeps the proceedings low-key and realistic. He doesn't hit you over the head with his ideas, yet he manages to say a lot about human nature.
- 75Miami HeraldMarta BarberMiami HeraldMarta BarberDon't try to figure Emilia's family out. Just sit back and let this family scrapbook move along.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenFilmmaker Trapero, a proponent of the New Argentine Cinema, employs a minimalist naturalism to tell what is obviously a very personal story that, at the same time, is certain to elicit widespread sighs of familiarity.
- 70The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenRolling Family is not a movie of ideas but an emotional and tactile experience of economy-class travel. In surveying a large swath of the Argentine landscape, it could be a companion piece to "The Motorcycle Diaries."
- 60Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThis Argentinean comedy is short on plot and leisurely in its character development, though by the end it's become a modest and genial portrait of a dysfunctional family.
- 60VarietyDeborah YoungVarietyDeborah YoungThe film has humanity to burn, but its loose structure makes it hard to connect with the multiple characters.
- 50Village VoiceVillage VoiceThe repeated sight of cute roadside animals and kissing cousins doesn't much enliven the long trip, and while Graciana Chironi lends humanity to the role of the white-shawl-wearing, high-blood-pressure-battling Gramma, the movie rarely if ever crosses the border between familiarity and surprise.
- 50The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe A.V. ClubNoel MurrayStill, after an hour and a half of exquisite photography and mushy action, audiences may well ask the unspoken question that plays across the faces of the Rolling Family clan right before the closing credits. Was it worth it?
- 50Chicago TribuneChicago TribuneThe wedding site at the end of the road offers beautiful vistas overlooking Brazil, but it's hardly worth the trip.
