Yoseli has a tattoo of the Eiffel Tower on her back and has always wanted to travel, but she was arrested at the airport for drug trafficking. Nacho is a trans man who was arrested for swindling and started a rock band in jail. Gentle or rough, blonde or shaved, cis or trans, long-term inmates or newly admitted: in this hybrid musical, they all re-enact their lives in a Buenos Aires prison.

Stephen A. Russell

Orion's Shoulder (Substack)

A must-see that transmogrifies the form, mainlining truth through affectation and turning it into a technicoloured musical ... Words don’t do it justice; just go.

Cinencuentro

Proudly queer, Reas establishes itself as a cinematographic experiment endowed with humanism; a playful and empowering look at those typically marginalized by society. [Full review in Spanish]

Instead of perpetuating the cycle of violence and exclusion, Reas challenges us to imagine a future where justice is synonymous with empathy and compassion. [Full review in Spanish]

Nicolás Medina

FIPRESCI

An irreverent dramatization of the prison life of these actresses-turned-characters in a film that moves completely away from the marginal porn-misery that has spread like a disease in recent Latin American cinema.

Rated: 6/10
