Nadine Whitney AWFJ.org A drama about the liminal space between life and death, and how caregivers of loved ones facing death experience that space. It requires audience patience. It is deliberately purgatorial and offers limited respite for either the characters or the viewers. Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Carlos Losilla Caimán Cuadernos de Cine [Overwhelming scenes]... are not easily forgotten and reveal a true filmmaker. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 17, 2021 Full Review Laurence Boyce Cineuropa As the movie reaches an ambiguous conclusion, there's an air of Roy Andersson as it flirts with both theatricality and overt surrealism. Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Mariona Borrull El antepenúltimo mohicano Raphaël O'Byrne's cinematography is weightless, sustained in intense whites and pastel colors.
