6.5/10
A very peculiar film with a great production and a cast that works perfectly for a story that hides a very strong theme. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Ernesto Diezmartinez Cine Vértigo 02/27/2017
At the end gives the feeling that Hemsani wanted to make several films in one. It's not worthy, not even as a weekend amusement. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Luis Fernando Galván En Filme 02/27/2017
3/5
Although it seems that the characters are intent on taking erroneous and wrong ways to prolong the predictable resolution of the story, turns out to be an intriguing thriller. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eye C @ECinc Sep 19 Una película que toca temas muy fuertes y recalcan las horribles situaciones en internados para "niños problema". Lo más sobresaliente son las actuaciones de los chamacos, que barbaros en ningún momento pierden su línea y todos son totalmente convincentes. Mi única queja sería el tono de los niños, pues no suenan a niños y tampoco se comportan como niños, parecieran pequeños adultitos, hubiera sido más creíble tener a niños comportándose como niños, pero aun así la película es muy interesante y me gusto.

See more 02/25/2017 This movie get a some thriller´s clitché, sometimes the screenplay doesn´t reach to connect with the cast but the Joseph Hemsani´s job is worthy, work with young actors is difficult. The cinematography and the music are amazing. Good Mexican movie. See more 01/24/2017 This movie is amazing. The main kid will be a star. See more Read all reviews
