Sarah Boslaugh TheArtsStl Almamula is a mood piece that proceeds at a leisurely pace and in which much more is implied than is shown. Rated: 7/10 Oct 19, 2023 Full Review Robert Kojder Flickering Myth While the central message of Carnal Sins is delivered bluntly, it is effectively harrowing thanks to a quiet, expressionless, empty-inside performance from Nicolás Díaz Rated: 3/5 Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Ezequiel Boetti Otroscines.com The most interesting subplot is that of the mother... her existential question is more subtle, deeper, and more elusive than her son's. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Torales explores the duality of a society influenced both by the preservation of traditions and superstitious beliefs as well as tension between social classes. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film A semi-autobiographical film with a potent sense of place, Almamula alternates between realism and fantasy, its camerawork reflecting the conflicting ways of thinking at its core. Rated: 4/5 May 30, 2023 Full Review Brittne Lunniss The Stranger (Seattle, WA) The film is set in Santiago del Estero, offering dreamy natural lighting and luscious greenery. The cinematography alone is worth the view. May 15, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
