Monica Castillo Remezcla 05/15/2020
Set in a picturesque coastal town in Mexico, the trio meets a series of terrible events through an almost experimental, unpolished style in this stunning colorful 16mm film. Go to Full Review
Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter 05/03/2020
After a potent first half-hour, the narrative comes alive more fitfully, making Kokoloko easier to admire than to be swept up by. Go to Full Review
Alan Zilberman Washington City Paper 10/08/2020
