Kevin Maher Times (UK) It’s fiery stuff, powerfully acted, but probably too polemical in the end. Rated: 3/5 Jun 10, 2022 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Rocha’s film shows us a fragment of lives lived in fear of poverty. Rated: 3/5 Jun 6, 2022 Full Review Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter Heartfelt but heavy-handed. Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese For many it will not be an easy thing to watch, especially for those with children, but it may help some to understand and empathise with immigrants who just want a good life. Jul 22, 2022 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf The film is very moving and well acted, especially by Lucia Moniz Rated: 3/5 Jun 24, 2022 Full Review Brian Viner Daily Mail (UK) It's clunkily written in parts, but naturalistic, affecting and blessedly succinct.
