      Marsha Lederman Globe and Mail The cinematography is stunning, the images horrifically powerful, but Mr. Reyes's point would be better served if he pulled back a bit on the poetic narration. Rated: 3/4 Dec 22, 2014 Full Review Ernest Hardy Village Voice Reyes brings a smart visual artist's compositional eye to capturing the people and environment on the Mexican side of the divide. Dec 22, 2014 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Rodrigo Reyes' documentary... is at times too elliptical for its own good, but it delivers a haunting portrait that stands in marked contrast to the incendiary arguments usually attendant to its subject matter. Dec 22, 2014 Full Review John Esther UR Chicago Magazine An intellectually impressive and refreshingly angry documentary. Rated: 5/5 Dec 22, 2014 Full Review Cynthia Fuchs PopMatters Purgatorio comes at the tragedies of borders again and again, finding different angles, reimagining histories and lives. In doing so, it asks you to open your eyes. Rated: 9/10 Dec 22, 2014 Full Review Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics A scary and stirring reporting of the reality of life on the Mexican / US border. Rated: 9/10 Oct 6, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
