Wendy Ide Screen International The contrast in tones is more jarring than complimentary and, most crucially, the picture runs out of steam long before it draws to a close. May 19, 2023 Full Review Jara Yáñez Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Two films that look at each other like a mirror, then drift towards indefinite territories that speak to Western, and fable-like elements; even a particular abstraction of some compromising transcendental temptations. [Full review in Spanish] May 23, 2023 Full Review Elena Lazic Cineuropa The shift in tone is so brutal that this second part of the film, coming as it does after the more dynamic first half, is difficult to fully appreciate.
