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 Joshua Polanski Midwest Film Journal [Potrykus gives us at least one] image that won’t soon dissipate from anyone’s memory. Sep 30, 2024 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The acting is solid and the look of the film is interesting, the writing lets the film down, which is a bit sad for a film with this much potential. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 14, 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 Read all reviews
