«Er behauptet, er gehe einem sozialen und wissenschaftlichen Auftrag nach: Das Leiden der Armen zu lindern und den Seelennotstand der Menschheit zu ergründen. (…) Der messianische Rantés rührt den Arzt, (...) doch Kategorien wie ‹krank› und ‹gesund› dürfen nicht in Frage gestellt werden. Das etablierte Ordnungssystem muss erhalten bleiben. Rantés kann nur ein Opfer des rationalen irdischen Denkens werden, aus dem es keinen Ausweg gibt.»
Marli Feldvoss, Die Zeit
Hombre mirando al sudeste «ist einer dieser gefühlvollen Filme, die Wahnsinn sowohl poetisch als auch romantisch finden. Ist Rantés das, was er zu sein behauptet? Der Film antwortet mit einem entschiedenen ‹Ja und Nein›.»
Vincent Canby, New York Times
