Nijla Mu'min Shadow and Act 08/14/2017
Though it isn't perfect, this story signals something we need more of, portraying people who have existed and survived in a country where their stories, like the Afro-Colombian soundtrack, ring loud and distinct. Go to Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times 07/18/2013
3/5
An urban drama limited by its nonprofessional cast and impressionistic, scattered storytelling. Go to Full Review Diego Semerene Slant Magazine 07/16/2013
2/4

07/28/2013 Could be better, u don't need to try the "Haneke" shoot, u're not Haneke See more 07/01/2013 http://www.clevelandmovieblog.com/2013/07/la-playa-dc-july-2nd-at-cedar-lee.html See more 11/01/2012 Que tristeza, de nuevo fracaso total del cine colombiano y eso que esta vez parecia interesante el tema. La verdad pareciera que estos directores de pacotilla nunca leyeran ni fueran a cine por que los guiones ni para limpiarse el ass y los actores son peores que los de telebobelas. Por lo menor la parte tecnica la manejan mejor pero la parte de cerebro y estetica aun la tienen totalmente perdida. Historia 100% estupida que no vale la pena ver ni en copia pirata.
