Stephen Saito Variety [Achieves] a level of intimacy unusual even for its reliably sensitive director when music and dance can crack open what mere dialogue cannot. Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Carlos Esquives Cinencuentro This is definitively not a family movie looking to create Kodak moments. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Olivia Popp Cineuropa 'They Will Be Dust' revels in its deadly honesty and an offhanded approach to passing away, confronting head-on and through a fictional lens many tacit social agreements around the unsparing idea of death. Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Santiago Echeverría EscribiendoCine Honestly captures the characters' emotions, although its mix of genres and musical elements sometimes hinder their development. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com They Will Be Dust offers a few sincere and truthful scenes with a humane perspective that feels like a balm in these times dominated by cynicism and hatred. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Jonathan Holland Screen International An admirably unsentimental and involving end-of-life drama that comes, unusually, peppered with dance sequences. The film could have perfectly well been played as straight drama, carried by performances from veterans Angela Molina and Alfredo Castro. Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
