A man's journey to learn the story of his estranged father, a failed hitman killed several years ago.

Dennis Harvey

Variety

A quietly engrossing use of the documentary form to probe issues seemingly passed from one generation to another, leaving children both fatherless and oft-inclined to repeat that missing person's errors.

... At times, brilliant. But Comala lacks an adventurous spirit, longer wings, and hungers for more. [Full review in Spanish]

Cine Sin Fronteras

Comala is a fascinating, emotive and very intimate documentary that explores the ghosts, secrets and generational patterns of a Mexican family. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 3.5/4

Latinx Lens

What starts as a promising narrative diverts itself into a home video montage of this family with little sprinkles about the hitman. Towards the end of the movie, the interviews felt overly acted leaving me disappointed.

Rated: 2.5/5

Film Threat

Comalais very well-made for a first feature, and it should be interesting to see what Cassini is capable of when he's telling a story that isn't his.

Rated: 7/10

POV Magazine

With Comala, Cassini illustrates that the measure of a man is by the way he loves.
