5/5
Patiently photographed by Carlos Vsquez, who bestows the same gentle attention on grainy snapshots and the beautifully ruined face of an aging drag queen, "108" peels back layers of delusion and dishonesty. Go to Full Review Joseph Jon Lanthier Slant Magazine 03/16/2013
3/4
Renate Costa's doc gradually simplifies into an elaborate seesaw between general, journalistic scoopery and unabashedly personal confrontation. Go to Full Review Lily Janiak Village Voice 03/12/2013
Costa's grainy footage looks amateurish at times-at one point, she runs out of battery and the screen goes dark-but her rule-breaking is bold. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 03/28/2013

Emotionally powerful and provocative. Go to Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews 03/19/2013
A landmark documentary on gay people that will become a classic like "Before Stonewall" or "The Celluloid Closet". At once a great family drama and detective story. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International 03/18/2013
This glowingly effective and intelligently low-key documentary manages to be both a stirring family drama and a valuable depiction of gay life and history in Paraguay. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/15/2011 Even though the narrative builds momentum and the discoveries pop up slowly, the story is told in a very straightforward way, so it feels closer to journalism than to cinema. Director and "star" Renate Costa is not a particularly gifted filmmaker, but her take on the oppressive Stroessner regime in Paraguay and the way its witch-hunt for homosexuals affected (and continues to affect) her conservative family is engrossing enough.
