Drama Based on true accounts, the superficial lines between subject and bystander are blurred and bound together, allowing individuals to walk in a vast space and thoroughly live a fragment of the refugees’ personal journeys. 'Carne y arena' employs the highest, never-before-used virtual technology to create a large, multi-narrative light space with human characters.

	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Extraordinary (...) It's the VR revolution we've been waiting for (...) It’s a trick, a ride, an adventure, a story, a nightmare, a lived-in diversion, a sensory experience touched with the compassion of art."	POS
United States	Jason Farago The New York Times	"Politically urgent and technically accomplished (...) Advances in technology — along with the sand beneath your feet — make the experience truly transporting"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"The illusion is so convincing that it’s scary (...) It’s not cinema as we’ve ever known it"	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Grater Screendaily	"While the staging of 'Carne y Arena' is inarguably impressive, and the visuals shot by regular Iñárritu collaborator Emmanuel Lubezki are gorgeous, in comparison with other high-end VR projects around it comes up slightly short."	NEU
United States	The Hollywood Reporter	"Powerful and moving without being gimmicky, the film forces the viewer to empathize directly with the migrants lived experience."	POS
United States	Kyle Buchanan Vulture	"It’s hard not to get caught up in the intense nature of the experience (...) When VR is put to its greatest use, it can do what the best of cinema does"	POS
United States	Anne Thompson IndieWire	"Groundbreaking, moving, and a must see (...) Amazing"	POS
