Drew Gregory Autostraddle This is a very sincere film about life and death and self-acceptance, but it’s also endless fun. Feb 1, 2025 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Students of 14th-century narrative poetry might question how much of the source material made it into this retro-futurist urban fantasy but, as a showcase for del Sol’s playfully iconoclastic vision, the picture fizzes with energy and mischief. Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com This is a director with plenty on their mind—homophobia, self-hatred, poisonous machismo, queer communities and dogmatic religion—and makes a canvas, in this case the city of Cali, Colombia, to express them on. Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Jeff Nelson Guy at the Movies Gala del Sol has an inspired, scrappy vision that momentarily radiates before its myriad of narratives begin to collapse. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
