Guy Lodge Variety 05/30/2019
The film's slideshow of the soured American Dream, with its parade of broken-down nowhere towns, disenfranchised citizens and social intolerance, is pretty familiar. Go to Full Review
Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter 05/22/2019
An enigmatic road movie - never was a term more descriptive - that is at once a portrait of female spirit and determination and a reflection on the loneliness at the heart of America today. Go to Full Review

5/10
This all culminates in the film's final ten minutes becoming an utter slog that is almost entirely separate from everything else we've experienced, which leaves a sour taste. Go to Full Review

Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa 06/04/2019
It's a haunting picture, one that links nature and humanity in unexpected and cruel ways. The multi-talented Horvath also took care of the ethereal cinematography and contributed the memorable soundtrack. Go to Full Review
Jorge (JJ) Negrete Butaca Ancha 06/03/2019
Even though the narrative is familiar, Horvath makes surprising decisions avoiding tremendous gratuity in the story. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
