Filmmaker Francisco Vargas makes his feature-film debut with this expansion of his well-received short film detailing the struggle between the peasants and military in 1970s-era Mexico. Don Plutarco (Angel Tavira) is a dignified elder who, along with his son Genaro (Gerardo Taracena) and grandson Lucio (Mario Garibaldi), makes his living as a traveling musician. On the side, the trio secretly smuggles weapons and supplies to the freedom fighters who are bravely attempting to overthrow the oppressive regime. When the trio returns to their hometown to find that it has been occupied by the army in their absence and the villagers have been forced to flee, Genaro departs in hopes of salvaging their supplies while Plutarco boldly approaches the squad captain (Dagoberto Gama) with the intention of personally recovering the ammunition on the sly. An outwardly harmless old man who convinces the captain to allow him access to the cornfields in exchange for playing music, Plutarco slowly but surely begins smuggling the ammunition back into the village in his violin case as the unsuspecting military man ravenously gorges himself into oblivion. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For The Violin (El Violin)
New Review For Movie The Violin (El Violin)
The film from first-timer Francisco Vargas puts a human face on universal suffering. It is also about the power of music, as the title instrument saves (for a while anyway) three generations of peasant men in their roles as guerrilla fighters.
John Monaghan-Detroit Free Press

Life-or-death matters are handled with compelling gravity.
John Hartl-Seattle Times

A message this political has rarely been delivered in so poetic a form.
Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times

A slightly meandering build-up is saved by a second half that really cooks, with Vargas ratcheting up the tension by flirting with genre convention in order to deal with Plutarco's unconventional psychological stand-off with a malodorous Captain.
David Jenkins-Time Out

Shot in a silvery black and white that lends a photojournalistic effect, this is not an easy film to sit through. But it will be a tough one to forget if you do.
Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News

Tavira's acting is the high point of this suspenseful yet beautiful movie, which -- for a while at least -- proves that music can soothe the savage breast.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post

An impressive debut for Mexican writer and director Francisco Vargas.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews

You may not remember how exactly this trio passed the time during most of the film's too-spare 98 minutes, but Plutarco is a character you likely won't forget.
Tricia Olszewski-Let's Not Listen

The Violin is so beautiful to look at, it almost wouldn't matter if it had a story. But it has one, and it's riveting.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press

It's all stripped down to a conflict more abstract than historical, a fable of heroic defiance in the face of brutal oppression.
Sean Axmaker-Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Francisco Vargas makes a marvellous debut with his magnificent The Violin.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid

Of course, there's Tavira, who, even if he never appears in another film, has left an indelible mark on cinema with his work here.
Glenn Whipp-Los Angeles Daily News

The weathered Tavina, who lost his hand in an accident at the age of 13, makes a fittingly indomitable hero. He's a character you're likely to remember - his face alone is worth a thousand words.
Derek Malcolm-This is London

Shot in luminous, high-contrast black and white, it has the rugged if faintly self-important authority of a Hemingway short story.
Tim Robey-Independent

A terrific debut by Vargas, who wrote, directed and produced.
Anthony Quinn-Independent

Another sort of movie would find a feelgood way of resolving the story; Vargas's vision is more grim and more realistic, but it is persuasively real, and in Tavira the director has found a natural star of the screen.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]

The plot is slimmer than a bowed string and lacks tension.
-Sun Online

A quietly gripping adversarial duel lies at the heart of this political thriller, which has been hailed as a masterpiece in Vargas's native Mexico.
Jamie McLeish-Film4

The film's strongest asset is octogenarian newcomer Tavira, who exudes stoic dignity.
Tom Dawson-Total Film

A challenging yet rewarding watch.
Anna Smith-BBC

Told with ruthless efficiency and no sentiment or sermonizing, stands as a fitting tribute to the human spirit.
Rob Daniel-Sky Movies

The austere monochrome photography gives the story a gravitas that's reinforced by the dignity of the amateur cast.
David Parkinson-Empire Magazine
