El antepenúltimo mohicano
Robert Pattinson, as a cruel Joll underling, joins the evil-doing, kicking in a few cartoon-imperialist sneers and sadistic laughs.

Rating: 3/5 --
Despite its allegorical trappings, Waiting for the Barbarians is very on the nose and very clear in its message from the outset and throughout.

Daily Mirror (UK)
The Magistrate convoys through the desert to take her back to her people, giving cinematographer Chris Menges an opportunity to conjure some stunning vista shots, the most resonant feature of this handsome but often understated period piece.

...an insightful allegory about the ravages of colonialism, with a fine script by JM Coetzee from his acclaimed novel.
