      Jay Weissberg Variety Static camerawork elides with static lives in Natalia Santa's rigorously controlled, fitfully amusing debut "The Dragon Defense." Jul 2, 2017 Full Review Tom Bond One Room With A View It's a pleasant, simple drama featuring some entertaining characters. That's about it. Rated: 2/5 Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Cinencuentro A correct film that works thanks to comical touches, many lines of dialogue are funny because of the dryness in which they are said. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/4 Aug 9, 2017 Full Review Juanma Ruiz Caimán Cuadernos de Cine A solid story around a protagonist unable to take the reins of his own life.

      Audience Member Buen trabajo de Natalia Santa en el guión y dirección, los personajes están muy bien construidos, en especial el protagónico, pero no tanto los coprotagónicos. La dirección de arte es preciosa y el hecho de rescatar el mundo del club de ajedrez "Lasker" en Bogotá y ese nostálgico "centro" de la ciudad, nos deja un sabor especial a los rolos. Lástima que el guión se queda a medias y no lleve a un desenlace mas coherente, los personajes quedan en el aire y no se dan los suficientes argumentos para acabar la historia en tan solo 80 minutos, como si fuese una partida de ajedrez, contra el tiempo. Buen intento! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
