	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"Fairy tales, folklore and remarkable animation combine (...) The feature leads viewers into an alluringly sinister new realm"	POS
United States	Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter	"A visually engrossing, reference-rich and disturbing tale about the mental delirium of a young girl, the deeply uncanny pic makes for an unsettling viewing experience"	POS
United States	Tomris Laffly Variety	"A jaw-dropping marriage of various animation techniques (...) Audiences will frequently ask themselves, 'How on earth did they pull that off?"	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"[It has] a voice that feels entirely new. The film surprises, with incredible force, in every one of its 75 minutes."	POS
United States	Matt Fagerholm rogerebert.com	"Cociña and León brilliantly portray the ever-evolving nature of dreams (...) [Its] quibbles hardly matter when faced with the staggeringly twisted grandeur of the animation (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"This is powerful and uniquely disquieting cinema that should reward the curiosity of those brave enough to seek it out"	POS
