Wendy Ide Screen International A lean picture which hones in on a co-dependent mother-son bond but, in doing so, brings into focus the toxicity of a culture permeated by power plays and corruption. Jul 15, 2021 Full Review Elsa Tébar Caimán Cuadernos de Cine A portrait of the horror of social reality in Colombia. [Full review in Spanish] Sep 23, 2021 Full Review Ignacio Navarro El antepenúltimo mohicano The conflict is clear and the drama goes through the usual motions, but it avoids stereotypes and Manichean reductions.
