United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Although the Mexican director’s odd, arm’s-length approach may be celebrated in a festival context (...) it’s too cold and disengaged for most moviegoers"	NEU
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"Michel Franco does create great characters (...) You cannot help but respond to the manipulation even as you are left pondering some of the holes in the plot"	POS
