	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Director Benjamin Naishtat's third and most accessible feature to date (...) "[It can] help consolidate his reputation as an exciting new voice in Argentinean cinema."	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"A witheringly provocative examination of temporary moral eclipse becoming permanent moral apocalypse, in a vortex of social upheaval in which respectable men are corrupted,	POS
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"I was entertained and perplexed in a way that seemed intentional (...) I can admit the film didn’t work for me personally"	NEU
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"It’s a brutal trip, though Naishtat smartly balances the heaviness with moments of levity and absurd comedy"	POS
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"Benjamin Naishtat’s subtle, twisting, state-of-the-nation drama works effectively as a noir-like thriller, and as an exploration of a country that has lost its moral compass."	POS
	Alfonso Rivera Cineuropa	"A slow-burning and deeply uneasy film with stunning visuals and an unhurried rhythm, and one that won’t be easily forgotten."	POS
