But no matter how desperately he searches for his own wife, he always finds himself one step behind.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: It's sad to see a film which, despite fine work in the various craft departments, fails to succeed on the most basic level.
Rotten: The concept takes magical realism to a reductive, overtly literal level, trivializing the subject and the people the film tries so hard to memorialize.
Rotten: Like Life Is Beautiful before it, Imagining Argentina juxtaposes horrific images of torture and humiliation against gooey optimism and thinks it's saying something profound about human resilience in the process.
Rotten: The power of the film is its roots in official truths which are already melting away.
