In the jungle of Colombia, Pepe, a young Hippo was killed. Between sounds and bellows, his ghost narrates his story, an authentic and false story, serious and playful. Another story to add to the imaginary of these neighboring towns, full of macho fights, dictatorships and beings that have died without ever knowing where they really were.

Tara Brady Irish Times The cumulative effect of the speculative fantasy and hybrid presentation is profoundly sad, as a voiceless victim of the drug cartels meets a terrible fate in a strange land. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Carlos Aguilar RogerEbert.com An exciting, visually unpredictable consideration of colonialism and human hubris tinged with the fantastic. Rated: 3/4 Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Perhaps the film itself, so mysteriously distended with huge digressions and non-narrative scenes, is as exotically fleshy and strange as a hippo. Yet it has bite. And the hippos themselves are entrancing. Rated: 4/5 Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com An extravagant experience, fascinating in many sections and provoking in a few. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Carlos Losilla Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Pepe becomes a film so satisfied with itself that it leaves almost no room for us to deploy our own languages ​​in it. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez InSession Film Pepe may not shake the sentimentality and spiritualness of Balthazar. However, it offers a unique, cinematic treat nonetheless. Rated: B Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
