	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"A thoughtful, emotionally-charged exploration of a devoutly religious family man torn apart by the revelation of his love for another man. (...) 'Tremors' uses individual circumstances to reflect wider issues within Guatemala"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"[It] doesn’t ask new questions, but its sensuous, reverberating atmospherics find fresh, angry ways to answer them (...) Bustamante’s command of visual and sonic texture still bewitches"	POS
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] places strong visuals, performances and atmosphere at the service of a naggingly patchy screenplay.	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[An] extraordinary drama (...) There are any number of movies about gay men trying to liberate themselves from the long shadow of heteronormative oppression but few have been told with the extraordinary nuance or compassion" of 'Tremors'."	POS
	Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa	"A convincing, touching and, at certain points, infuriating depiction of what it means to be a gay man in a society dominated by a very traditional version of the Christian religion."	POS
United States	Carlos Aguilar The Wrap	"To its very last moment, 'Tremors' is a prodigiously gut-wrenching demand for change (...) It’s a magnificently unflinching film"	POS
