What they say at the festivals:

By Chris Garcia

AMERICAN-STATESMAN FILM CRITIC
Sunday, March 20, 2005

There were plenty of wrenching documentaries at the festival, but the well-deserved winner of the Documentary Feature award showed a more comic touch. But that's not to say that Michèle Ohayon's "Cowboy Del Amor" is lightweight. The "Cowboy" of the title is matchmaker Ivan Thompson. At the Austin Convention Center, I overheard him described as a "coot," and that's pretty accurate. Thompson makes matches between American men and Mexican women. He's a rich character -- practically tailor-made for talk shows -- and Ohayon crafts a gem of a film around him. It's sharply observed, well paced and very, very funny. You'll like it, your mom will like it.
