The Cow Who Sang a Song Into the Future Reviews
A soft plea for human decency and healing, bound together by past mistakes literally haunting these characters.
The almost aimless plotting of events contributes to scenes that either lack in resonance or fade away into relative obscurity.
At the center of the story, both Mia Maestro and Leonor Varela give heart-breaking and contrasting performances.
In spite of its missteps, The Cow Who Sang is an assured first feature that gently weaves an intimate, personal story about motherhood, family, trauma and loss into a wider fable about environmental ruin...
A riveting tale of family drama and environment that provides a hopeful and thoughtful ending.
Hope lingers that it’s not too late for Magdalena’s family to wake up to the world around them, and maybe it’s possible for us to do the same.
A moo-ving meditation on the many ugly heads of entitlement and exploitation.
There are moments of eerie movie magic here as well as a pervasive didacticism and at least one scene that’s lit like a telenovela. Alegria is one to watch, though, and so is the movie if you’re feeling chancy.
By turns beautiful, haunting and inscrutable.
Perhaps the best quality of The Cow Who Sang a Song into the Future is that it instills a sense of hope in the viewer.
Every genuinely compelling moment is forced to become an object of one-dimensional dogma.
The joy of the film is in its narrative flow.
The beauty of the story lies precisely in how to overcome fragility, doing it with both realistic and supernatural quests that will take you out of your comfort zone.
The Cow Who Sang a Song into the World creates a deeply affecting mood, as the song of the earth slips into your ears and into your bloodstream, an eco-thriller that asks us to listen to the earth.
With finely tuned magical realist sensibilities, first-time writer-director Francisca Alegria launches into a hauntingly atmospheric tale that denounces humanity’s untenable relationship with the natural world.
Whether this is a ghost story, a zombie story or something more abstract is beside the point.
In the presence of these limiting factors, however, The Cow Who Sang ultimately resolves as a less curious film than most of its runtime suggests.
"The Cow Who Sang a Song into the Future” might be too slow of a slow burn—and there’s not much to [its] characters beyond a few barely sketched traits.
Ambitious if unfocused, this transfixing Chilean eco-fable infuses magical realism into a haunting story of grief and fractured family dynamics.
The images, the score, and the performances are so alluring that it's impossible to look away from them. Given its uniqueness, it's also impossible to forget.
