Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine 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] Rated: 8/10 Jun 3, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Arias gives voice, empathy, and entity to non-normative people, allowing them the chance to open up and express themselves as they have never been able to do before. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jun 3, 2024 Full Review 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 Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film "It’s quickly apparent that entering prison means becoming part of the collective body that is the prisoner population, with the choreographed movements that accompany the songs reinforcing the sense of synchronicity." Rated: 3/5 Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf Reas is an incredibly moving and audacious film. Rated: 4/5 Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com A novel, even cathartic approach as a way to re-enact past traumatic experiences, Reas works effectively as a collective rather than with any of its isolated individual elements. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
