Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye As earnest as Gitai's intentions are, his politics are didactic, bluntly conveyed with heavy-handed symbolism, unbearably theatrical monologues and stilled scene arrangements devoid of artiness.

[Full review in Spanish] Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Lee Marshall Screen International We wait patiently for elucidation. But, over the next 80 minutes, it comes only in short flashes that pierce through a mist of seemingly unconnected vignettes. Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
