Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Writer-director Carolina Markowicz balances earthy authenticity with a deadpan sense of humour and remarkably complex characters who are just getting on with the challenges of life. Rated: 4/5 Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Norman Gidney MUSE TV A breath of fresh air to the usual stories of oppression in the queer community. Here we see the path forward rather than observing why progress is difficult. Rated: 8/10 Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Jonita Davis The Black Cape (Medium) 'Toll' criticizes the hypocritical Christian urge to shine a spotlight on the gay community, while larger, more menacing sins are allowed to thrive in the shadows. Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy Actions have consequences, even if they're motivated by love. Toll shows the price that must be paid, over and over again, in an absorbing and compelling story, filled with unexpected turns. Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Unfortunately, as the picture illustrates perfectly, intolerance often ends up proving to be stronger than family and friendship ties, destroying connections that in other circumstances would be the causes of great joy. [Full review in Portuguese] Rated: 4/5 Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Raquel Loredo Caimán Cuadernos de Cine A powerful critique against the discourse of moral superiority that is born from prejudice.
