Carlos Marañón Cinemanía (Spain) ... it forges a rhythm of its own that the director knows how to mold. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 14, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Even though the film is a bit tiring because of the never-ending narration and too dark shots that not always allows us to see what is happening, there's a lot to enjoy here, from the poetry with which the war is approached and the re-creation of the 1970's in the african lands. Definitely a big step in portuguese cinema, but it is far from being a masterpiece. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
