Siddhant Adlakha Variety Much of the movie’s power is owed to Potrykus’ own performance as a cartoonish manchild, in the vein of studio comedies led by Adam Sandler or Will Ferrell, only Potrykus is quick to unearth the nuanced layers Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Potrykus’s latest begins as a darkly funny heavy metal comedy that deftly shifts into a poignant existential drama, but it’s his and Burge’s transformative performances that carry this unconventional gem. Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org Vulcanizadora is a dark, sombre film, and yet it speaks of something so genuine in such an urgent way that the courage driving it brings with it an implicit kind of hope. Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com Writer/director Joel Potrykus deploys long takes and close-ups with great skill, building tension incrementally...A prime example of how captivating story-telling and imaginative cinematography can make you oblivious to a film’s limited budget. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Jonathan DeHaan Nightmare on Film Street A grimly comedic story that could just as easily have been titled "National Lampoon's Faces of Death". It's a comedy so black that even light can't escape it! Vulcanizadora is a good time for people who love a bad time. Rated: 8.5/10 Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Vulcanizadora is tremendous, and wildly unexpected. Rated: 8/10 Aug 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
