Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 06/19/2009
2.5/5
Although sexy and scenic, the Peruvian road movie Mncora lacks the heart and soul required to fully invest in its central trio's free-floating journey of self-discovery. Go to Full Review Todd McCarthy Variety 02/13/2008
Like a poor cousin to Y tu mama tambien. Go to Full Review Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter 01/24/2008

Despite dramatic pretenses, De Montreuil has essentially made a piece of sex-and-sun tourism cinema. Go to Full Review Eric D. Snider EricDSnider.com 01/20/2008

05/09/2015 El road trip dentro de Máncora resulta ralo y misterioso queriendo generar expectctiva e incomodidad, a pesar de la sensibilidad melancólica de los ambientes propuestos, lo demás sigue siendo una necedad toda la película: generar expectativas que nunca se cumplen. See more 03/21/2015 Pelicula Peruana...Mancora, una playa bravaza See more 09/22/2013 A great road movie with a more than lovely Elsa Petaky, who really makes you fall in love with her and the movie. See more 05/08/2013 If you don't like weekend benders, threesomes or surf towns, this is not your movie. And we probably shouldn't hang out anymore. See more 02/19/2013 I liked this movie an okay plot,nice view of Peru,the acting was decent from all actors and felt them in a way.There is unexpected presence of Schiavo in the film,but its not quite realistic,but the best thing about this movie was the strong message.So for this being a good foreign film to watch I give "Mancora" a C. See more 09/28/2012 has all the elements of a road movie - amazing landscape, surf, sex, drugs, beautiful people, a hitch hiker, and good music. It's on Netflix See more Read all reviews
