Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com It washes over you, pulling you forward toward its heart through the natural strength of its emotional tide. Rated: 3/4 Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Nicola Schulze LatinaMedia.Co A stunning meditation on the themes of cancer, colonialism, and climate disaster, all intertwined with the strong bonds of family and community. Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Cody Allen Geek Vibes Nation La Pecera lingers beyond its final moments. It leaves us with the echoes of a place and a people who refuse to be forgotten. It reminds us that even in ruin, there is resistance. Even in sorrow, there is beauty. And even in loss, something remains. Rated: 10/10 Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Sarah Vincent Boston Movie News Filmmakers, take notice! “The Fishbowl” (2023), originally titled “La Pecara,” is how you make a bleak film into a watchable, elegiac force. Rated: A Jun 8, 2025 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) A melancholic film about one woman’s journey towards autonomy and steadfast resistance at the end of her life, but also a sharp critique of the ecological and social consequences of the U.S. Military’s poisonous colonialism. Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Jorge Rivera Rubio QiiBO A powerful drama with two impressive performances...also a metaphor (or perhaps simile) about the catastrophe of colonialism in a country that is exhausted, frustrated, unable to decide its own destiny, hindered by interests.
