León and Cociña’s fourth-wall antics may prove grating at times,..But their steadfast subversion of narrative norms, instead of capitulating to merely fashionable parodies of creative bankruptcy, captivates through the questions it raises.

León and Cociña, per usual, have their fingers on the pulse, and their particularly material approach to storytelling and the nation-psyche makes The Hyperboreans a poignant, experimental film-warning urging you to never forget.

The Hyperboreans is another example of the talent, creativity, imagination, and capacity for provocation and surprise of two artists with few rivals in contemporary cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

Parts of The Hyberboreans... are stunning, other parts are tiresome and pretentious; but none of it is boring, and it looks set to consolidate the directors’ reputation as producers of a distinctive, politically provocative form of animation.
