[Doi Boy] could've been much more impactful and resonant with more careful execution and a deeper exploration of its central themes. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Romey Norton Ready Steady Cut 11/24/2023

Prof. Dr. Răzvan I 06/15/2024 A very well exploited subject, not so known to a broad public. A must-see at list for the topi if not for the cinematography. See more j F 01/04/2024 The pacing was sometimes fast, sometimes slow. The enforced disappearances part was a puzzle, more background would have helped. The plot also had some logical holes in the road. Cinematography was enchanting. See more Jay M 12/25/2023 The movie tends to wander, leaving the viewer confused. The story is good and the acting is solid. I liked it! See more Read all reviews
