Critics' reviews

"'Escobar' offers an odd mix of action movie, romantic melodrama and cautionary traveler’s tale, which works better than it should thanks to Del Toro’s fascinating performance and Di Stefano’s assured, muscular helming."

Scott Foundas: Variety
"An absorbing and suspenseful drug trade drama. (...) an impressive debut, an ambitious project pulled off with confidence."

Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter
"Di Stefano's memorable debut feature makes up for its lack of sophistication with constant forward motion."

Eric Kohn: IndieWire
