“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.

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

Because of these structural weaknesses, the movie is unable to take flight. [Full review in Spanish]

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. [Full review in Spanish]

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Johan Carrasco’s cinematography envelopes the land with a mystical touch, capturing the beauty of the sun’s rays and the thick mist cast by the titular clouds

While its story is important and intentions well-meaning, its execution falls short of reaching the same level.
