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
The film only feels interesting when it focuses on looking at what the characters aren't doing and listening to what they aren't saying. Go to Full Review

Sebastian D Sep 12 The story wanders without focus, leaving characters underdeveloped and themes heavy-handed. It lacks the spark or insight to stand out, making it a tedious watch that fails to connect. La Playa D.C. is a noble effort gone wrong, offering little to care about.

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.
