Carlos Aguilar Variety 08/31/2023
As is common in Arriaga’s scripts, the tale finds its potency in the intricate moral grays of the human condition, here portrayed through a collection of strikingly incisive performances by the young cast. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Screen International 08/31/2023

7/10

Claudio Sánchez Cinencuentro 09/15/2023
