Bay Area Reporter

Akar and Bass play their descent into madness beautifully. Both offer intense performances... But good acting cannot save a film that just doesn't make sense.

Rich Cline

Shadows on the Wall

Events develop in an often surreal way, continually flipping reality to keep the audience on its toes. So while it's relentlessly inventive, it's difficult to properly engage emotionally.

Rated: 3/5

Josh Bell

Crooked Marquee

Bolivian director Rodrigo Bellott's psychedelic horror movie crosses the line from surreal into incoherent pretty early on, and it never returns.

Rated: C-

Gay City News

It is both compelling and confusing, but Bellot keeps thing open to interpretation, filling his film with myths and symbols and potent images — not the least of which are the attractive actors often clad only in their underwear.
