Zoraida Rengifo Cinencuentro [Filmmaker Adrián] Saba's vision is not that apocalyptic and although it has a predictable outcome, the narrative thread is quite compelling. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 12, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member "El Limpiador no es un film comercial: es de ritmo lento y pausado, más preocupado en construir la amistad entre dos personajes solitarios, en hacer una reflexión acerca de la muerte, en vez de recurrir a las imágenes de ciencia ficción o terror que su premisa podría sugerir (aquí no hay zombies, ni gore, ni nada por el estilo). Aún así, es justamente el tipo de película que se debería realizar en el país: una que no recurre a los temas comunes que se espera de nuestro cine (terrorismo, corrupción política, delincuencia o los omnipresentes desnudos), sino más bien se atreve a presentar algo nuevo, que se adentra en convenciones de género pero con su propia voz, hecho sin concesiones y mostrando un claro ojo cinematográfico" Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Just watched this at the Museum of Fine Art Houston's 8th annual Latin Wave film festival. Excellent use of space and silence in this film, great performances by the lead actors, haunting plot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
