      georgan g Starts out slow, but captures my interest and empathy. What a life. Makes me ashamed to complain about anything. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Greg M I'm not sure I got what the film makers were aiming for out of this. It's sort of interesting, but in the end I think the film suffers greatly by the fact that it ends to credits before playing the additional clips of film. You'd think that would be an important thing to showcase during the actual film so those of us who immediately turn off the tv when credits roll don't miss something. I mean, without that scene the ending is practically meaningless. Personally, I think it would have been good to know exactly what he was doing all these years, how he gets by, and whatever else that would explain why someone would choose to seek this life instead of stay home with the family they claim to love. What were his expectations, how did that change over time, etc. There's a wealth of very interesting information surrounding this case, but you never get to hear any of it. You just have to infer. To me, this was a sadly missed opportunity that showcased what I would consider artistic delivery over value. Too bad though. The stories of these people are the stories I want to know more about. If you have that same general thought, you may want to just skip this one. While mildly entertaining, it is not very satisfying for those who feel everyone's story is worth hearing.

      Ben Kenigsberg New York Times ...telling his story in vignettes allows the passage of time to be felt in other ways. Every jump forward is a small shock. Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Carlos Aguilar Remezcla A timely and sensitive portrait of a man that speaks loudly for the anguish of many. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Keith Uhlich Hollywood Reporter It's as if Cordero and Croda are trying to goose the drama rather than unearth it, never entirely trusting that Felipe's life is interesting enough as is. Dec 8, 2018 Full Review Alejandro Alemán El Universal Felipe is a very unique character. Prankster and dancer, moves with the lightness of who already dominates the iron city (NYC). [Full Review in Spanish] Mar 2, 2020 Full Review Joshua Brunsting The CriterionCast Viewers may not learn a lot about this man or his life specifically, but through a profound sense of intimacy they may find something even greater under this film's proverbial hood - empathy. Oct 9, 2019 Full Review Chelsea Phillips-Carr POV Magazine Watching Felipe languish before the camera, it is hard not to question what he got out of the experience, and why the filmmakers couldn't have aided by him. The observational style of the doc makes one feel helpless. But is that productive? Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
