Rene Jordan

A marvelous semiautobiographical film. [Full review in Spanish]

...benefits substantially from its irresistibly authentic execution and raft of vivid, engaging protagonists.

Richard Propes

Avalon remains visually mesmerizing throughout.

The real triumph of this film thematically is that melancholy and bittersweet emotions dominate. This is not the standard heartwarming immigrant film we have experienced so often.

Avalon is a parable about the price of prosperity, the evolution from the extended family at the dining-room table to the nuclear family hunched over TV trays.
