It’s difficult to say more about 'Barrio Triste,' a film that makes its statements early and often, leaving us to wallow in the brutal truth of these young men’s lives. Go to Full Review Ryan Lattanzio IndieWire Sep 11

There is beauty in the ugliness of “Barrio Triste,” but the film feels like a half-started sentence, a germ of an idea that doesn’t bloom. More to come, I’m sure, but Stillz’s movie doesn’t justify waiting it out. Go to Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) Nov 13
4.5/5
Working with producer Harmony Korinne, director Stillz has crafted a slice-of-hard-life chronicle that is both compellingly propulsive and heartbreakingly pointless. Go to Full Review Dan Scully ScullyVision Nov 10
A portrait of a chaotic life; a life where nothing is ordinary, and thus the extraordinary is as accepted and expected as anything else. Go to Full Review Ashley Morales MovieJawn Oct 14
While the viewer gets an understanding of why these characters go through with their actions, there is little to no reasoning for their actions or insight on what might happen to them in the future. Go to Full Review Zach Lewis In Review Online Oct 10
