Nijla Mu'min Shadow and Act 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. Aug 14, 2017 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times An urban drama limited by its nonprofessional cast and impressionistic, scattered storytelling. Rated: 3/5 Jul 18, 2013 Full Review Diego Semerene Slant Magazine 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. Rated: 2/4 Jul 16, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Could be better, u don't need to try the "Haneke" shoot, u're not Haneke Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member http://www.clevelandmovieblog.com/2013/07/la-playa-dc-july-2nd-at-cedar-lee.html Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
