      Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com In trying to parse the morals of a woman learning to coexist with the killer of her son, Möller arrives at a bleak ending that undercuts his critique of the dehumanization inherent to so many prison systems. Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Leslie Felperin Hollywood Reporter It’s a shame that the sloppiness of the script here — the sort of thing that could easily have been fixed in pre-production — lets down what could have been a very compelling, eminently remake-able conceit. Feb 24, 2024 Full Review David Ehrlich indieWire Unresolved and deflatingly rhetorical as it might be, Möller’s thriller maintains its bruising hold over us because it refuses to see that as a failure of his country’s prison system, as opposed to its ultimate success. Rated: B- Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Nicolás Medina Montevideo Portal / Latido Beat Möller's direction is outstanding, resorting to a conventional narrative, but maintaining tension and suspense throughout the film.

Rated: B+ Mar 10, 2024 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage ... An intense drama about a destiny we cannot escape and escapes that do not change our destiny at all.
