Monica Castillo Hyperallergic Feels like a rebellion against hopelessness Nov 17, 2020 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times The cast is appealingly natural, the cinematography subtly seductive, and the Colombian pop songs on the soundtrack establish a sinuous groove. Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Vibrant and affecting. Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Ethan Gordon InSession Film Despite those drier sections, the entire movie rests on the shoulders of Laura Tobón Ochoa. She often shows nervousness and eagerness in one expression. If there’s a single reason to see Days of the Whale, it’s for her performance. Rated: B Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Days of the Whale is nimble and breezy, light on plot yet never insubstantial. Oct 12, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com A terrific debut feature from Arroyave that definitely deserves to be seen. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 5, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Ben K An absolute masterpiece. A much watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review brent m Despite raw, natural performances and a bouncy soundtrack, this coming of age tale about a pair of naive, idealistic graffiti artists taking on Medellin drug dealers through their elaborate street paintings fails to deliver a story compelling or believable enough to hold viewer interest, even with the film's comparatively short 1:17 runtime. Many of the picture's diverse story threads feel underdeveloped, unexplained, and, at times, irrelevant to the main narrative. While the film may be appealing to look at, viewers are likely to feel frustrated by the lack of a content to match the visuals. Not worth the time -- skip it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
