David Robb Slant Magazine Plunging headlong into the murk of exploitative missionary work and environmentally destructive capitalism, Transamazonia is a film with undeniable import and sociopolitical urgency, which its muddled narrative can’t completely dampen. Rated: 2/4 Aug 17, 2024 Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com There’s enough mystique in “Transamazonia” to make it spellbinding and haunting. Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez InSession Film Many holes in the screenplay impede Parais from further commenting on the aforementioned themes. Rated: C Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Strangely oblique character development and a myriad of narrative cliches undermine the possibilities of reaching beyond the obvious, leading to a sanitized, even romanticized version of what feels like rosy-tinted post-colonialist semantics. Rated: 2/5 Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Dhruv Goyal In Review Online The statement that settler colonialism robs Indigenous people of the tangible and intangible is loud and clear, and correct... But where's the drama? Where's the emotional and spiritual struggle that gives weight to the point that Transamazonia makes?  Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
