What an achievement for Venezuelan cinema. Claudia Pinto Emperador delivers a charming and tender movie that would be good even if it wasn't part of the venezuelan filmography. A beautifully written road movie that surprises with great acting, beautiful imagery and a warm feeling in your chest. This is a movie about a boy who loses his mother and tries to reconnect with his estranged grandmother, whom he hasn't met but he knows she'll be visiting one of Venezuela's most beautiful landscapes: The Gran Sabana. The way it's told makes you fall in love with the characters, and keeps your eyes open as you want to see how everything's gonna fall into place. This movie is a treat for the soul and further proof of what venezuelan cinema could be if our rulers weren't corrupt. Gorgeous movie.

I wasn't able to watch it on a theater and I saw it pirated online. I'm so sorry, Claudia. Your movie is truly special and remarkable and you have my word that when we rescue Venezuela from the dictatorship, I'm gonna try to put to work our Cinemateca Nacional and we're going to do incredible things with your movie so a lot of people get to see it and you get the credit you deserve for this beautiful piece of art.

This Venezuelan film so full of subtleties, beauty, warmth, but also deals with death, contrast of different ways of life with many spiritual readings, trying to provoke a reflection on the fate of people. The debut feature from writer/director Claudia Pinto Emperor (Caracas, 1977 she lived several years in Guri, Edo. Bolivar) "The longest distance" is about a woman (Carme Elias, winner of a Goya in 2009) who is in the last stage of his life against a child (Omar Moya) who escapes from the chaotic city of Caracas to meet with her in the paradise Gran Sabana (Roraima). Excellent casting, beautiful photography, very well directed, personally I am very proud of this special work, since I'm from Guayana where much of the picture was shot and I think that Claudia did a great job as a team to claim that there is hope between us and to improve and demonstrate the beauty that is, our country, Venezuela.
