Critics' reviews

"With breakout performances by its two young male leads, the tale (...) belies its short running time with a sense of full dramatic realization"

Dennis Harvey: Variety
"Striking in its gritty, powerful authenticity."

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"The writing by the director and co-scribe Thayná Mantesso is deft and pithy, and there’s a rawness of spirit in both the stellar central performance and the film’s social realist aesthetic."

Carlos Aguilar: Los Angeles Times
