	Media	Author	Review
		Allan Hunter Screendaily	"A bracing, singular experience that eventually coheres around the way an individual lifespan and quest for identity reflects the bigger picture of a national identity crisis"
		David Katz Cineuropa	"Folklore, environmentalism, queer desire and Hollywood musical-style ensemble choreography come together in this ravishing feature by Pedro Rodrigues (...) Beneath its pleasurable surface lie thought-provoking ideas"
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"While the cast’s dancing is very good, on the whole, the acting suggests less training. But that fits the semi-professional vibe even better, creating a work that feels light, quick and quite dirty in every sense.
		Ankit Jhunjhunwala Screen Anarchy	"Rodrigues is one of our most talented directors, and his sixth film finds him in form great enough that his next one is sure to be eagerly anticipated too"
		Carlos Aguilar Los Angeles Times	"Few cineastes out there are making deliciously defiant art like Rodrigues, and this entry in his catalog is a concentrated shot of his sardonic mastery"
		Eric Henderson Slant	"[It] may be knowingly naïf, but in its final moments it still shares common bond with Rodrigues’s best work (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
