Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter Pablos runs into narrative trouble when the interesting back-and-forths between Sofia and Ulises become just two strands in a bundle of stories also vying for attention. Apr 18, 2016 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety [The Chosen Ones,] while a little one-note in its dramatic development, is as hard to shake as it is to watch. Apr 18, 2016 Full Review Fausto Ponce Proceso A film worth seeing, but far from enjoyable due to the hard subject it deals with. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 13, 2016 Full Review Daniel Krauze El Financiero A glimpse at the horrors of human trafficking in northern Mexico. [Full review in Spanish] May 30, 2016 Full Review Alberto Sáez Villarino El antepenúltimo mohicano A drama about prostitution and exploitation that follows every cliche in the book of "art films". [Full review in Spanish] May 10, 2016 Full Review Hugo Lara Correcámara A film with a hard and difficult theme but that is necessary.

Alejandro d Great photography and composition of the scenes, I loved the concept of the cinematography, original and works very well. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Damn this movie is bleak; and too real. Grosses you out and disturbs you. I only rated this low because it didn't hold my attention and was average in terms of film (at best). But the premise and its surreal delivery truly irks you. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review danger W Warning. This is a very difficult watch. I had to walk away a few times. I was once in Tijuana, where I came across a brothel right next to an elementary school. Yes this world is fucked up. This film was like that. The young actors were almost too good playing their roles. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/20 Full Review Audience Member The ending was pretty abrupt. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This is so fucking heartbreaking and brutal. The leads are amazing, really! And the director, wow, they didnt have to show you the nature of what she has to do to make you feel her disgust and contempt towards what they are turning her into. There was one sequence that really stood out to me, the one where they are only showing her face and there was all this sex sounds. Genius! Man, also so much could be said with a single glance, look and sway of the camera. One of my favorites that I watched this year! Amazing! 4.5/5 cause it kindda made me depressed as hell wished it ended some other way but this is the reality and maybe the ending was a message in itself. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Una película que expone un tema que muchos de nosotros pensábamos que no ocurría en nuestro país, De una manera tan realista, David Pablos nos muestra cómo le arrebatan los sueños a las niñas y se llevan toda su humanidad. Es necesario que se haga cine como este, para que a la sociedad nos den bofetadas en el rostro y veamos lo ocurre afuera de nuestra burbuja.
