Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It will blow you away. Mar 25, 2023 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times This nominal portrait of people isn’t interested in what they have to say. Mar 2, 2023 Full Review William Repass Slant Magazine Helmut Donsantos’s counterintuitive recombination of what would seem to be mutually exclusive inspirations, each with its own temporal framework, allows him to offer for our contemplation a vision uniquely his own. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It zings us with its brilliant painterly compositions. Rated: B Oct 15, 2023 Full Review Joe Friar Fort Worth Report A visual and auditory treat from writer-director Helmut Dosantos. Surreal and haunting at times, the documentary is a beautiful tribute to the indigenous people and the breathtaking landscape of Mexico. Rated: 4/4 Jun 3, 2023 Full Review Rene Sanchez Cine Sin Fronteras A poetic portrayal of Mexico's rich culture and traditions that continue to be preserved despite the constant threat of modernity.
