Los Angeles Times
Severely marred by a plot device so ludicrous it turns a serious drama into something silly.

L.A. Weekly
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.

Variety
Fails on almost every level…the film only succeeds in trivializing this shameful era.

No me pareció mala, sino mediocre. Sentí que pudo dar para más. La historia, el montaje e incluso muchas actuaciones pudieron ser mejores. Muchas partes de la trama movían más a risa que a angustia por lo que pasaba. Había elementos que no iban a ninguna parte o que sólo estaban ahí para significar quién sabe qué. En sí, había partes que eran de un absurdo involuntario, algunas secciones incluso se podrían tomar como una terrible falta de respeto para quienes vivieron esa época. Además se notaba que la película quería ser otra cosa, era muy pretenciosa con todo eso de Orfeo y La muerte roja".
