Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times But [Brimstone & Glory] deftly captures the skill, passion and peril behind the fireworks, as well as the love of a family whose livelihood is rooted in this booming trade. Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com A movie that repays being seen on a big reflective screen, one on which the image is projected rather than one from which the image emanates. Rated: 3/4 Nov 22, 2017 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times The film ... has a wandering attention span and grows monotonous even at barely more than one hour. Nov 21, 2017 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage The images of Brimstone and Glory are cosmic. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Alejandro Alemán El Universal [Director Viktor Jakovleski] manages to capture the sensory experience in order to project it on the screen and generate empathy with all the people of San Juan Tultepec along the way. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 30, 2021 Full Review Fernanda Solórzano Letras Libres A documentary firmly dedicated to exposing the dangers and ecstasies of pyrotechnics.
