Straddling the semi-permeable barrier between the absurd and the poignant, Ga'agua relies on its impeccable acting to humorously illustrate the particular modes of psychological desperation extant in humanities ceaseless struggle towards carnal fulfillment and human connection.

Los Angeles Times

A gutsy slice of emotional complexity that straddles an intriguing, if not always successful line between the deeply poignant and the darkly absurd.

Hollywood Reporter

The film's viewpoint is frank and a little eccentric, and each scene is designed to lead to a narrative surprise.

[Actor] Shai Avivi... has enough versatility to fulfill what this curious script demands: to move from drama to comedy from one moment to another, often within the same scene. [Full review in Spanish]
