Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com “Through the Rocks and Clouds” is a defiant film, one that is so thoughtfully calibrated it’d be easy to miss just how well it mixes the whimsical with the profound. Feb 24, 2024 Full Review Gustavo Herrera Taboada Cinencuentro ...its honest and empathetic look at the problems and challenges facing Cusco and much of the country makes it a must-see for Peruvians of all ages. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review Instantly charming, but exiles its central conflict so far into the background that it never gains any dramatic momentum. What’s left feels like a character study of a boy who is still too young for his character to have fully developed. Rated: 2 Oct 9, 2025 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews The childlike innocence and playfulness of Raíz (Through Rocks and Clouds) is enjoyable, but its depiction of tradition fighting modernisation is frustratingly meagre. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Juan José Beteta Cinencuentro Because of these structural weaknesses, the movie is unable to take flight. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Claudia Arteaga Olórtegui Cinencuentro Although it is a choice of approach – not all films that address environmental issues have to be political – it leaves us unsteady; a film that sought to combine aesthetic resources with a social theme but falls by the wayside.
