David Katz IndieWire It often looks beautiful, yet that beauty also has an ostentatious quality. Ultimately, it’s a case in point for how an impeccably styled arthouse-grindhouse crossover can feel both dense with signifiers to unpack, but also fleet, frothy and fun. Rated: B Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter The problem is that there’s no actual point to Reflection in a Dead Diamond... Kudos are nonetheless in store for a couple who continues to go boldly where few directors go, eschewing commercial or “elevated” genre filmmaking for something stranger. Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety Diamonds may be dazzling, but they grow tiresome to look at after a time. While the “Reflection” duo ensures that every frame sparkles, too few of them make sense. Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Dan Scully ScullyVision The imagery is all familiar, but here its synthesized into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Marcelo Paredes Cinencuentro More than an exercise in nostalgia, this is a vindication of cinema as a living art, an experience as intense as it is hypnotic in the way it celebrates what the passage of time tried to bury. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Philip Bagnall Loud and Clear Reviews The directors are always playful, but they’ve never been this fun.
