Diane Haithman Detroit Free Press 08/11/2021
Whether we call it comedy or tragedy is irrelevant to those things that make this film special. The film does not proceed along a set story line, but is constructed of a series of realistic and endearing vignettes. Go to Full Review K.C. Summers Washington Post 08/11/2021
The film is limited technically... but despite this, quality acting and a message of tolerance and survival comes through. Go to Full Review Gary Arnold Washington Post 08/11/2021
While Hidalgo-Gato distinguishes himself in the subtlest performance, the supporting presences are consistently impressive: [especially] Zully Montero as El Super's wife [and] Elizabeth Pena as his daughter. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
