This is a very difficult documentary to watch, and the creators don't use cheap tricks to make it what it is – the subject matter itself is just so difficult to sit through, letting the victims speak their truths was the right choice to make here.

Rated: 4.5/5

Decider

The Darkness within La Luz del Mundo isn’t the most narratively concise documentary, but it resourcefully pieces together a profoundly disturbing story of ego, power, manipulation and victimization.

Pérez knows how to move, even with the restrictions of time, and delivers a documentary that is as revealing as it is painful but always takes care to maintain the anonymity of the victims. [Full review in Spanish]

Ready Steady Cut

For two hours, the documentary has a consistent pace, and without the use of dramatic, upbeat music or flashing images, you can really focus on the victims and their stories.

Rated: 3.5/5
