Carlos Aguilar Variety Aug 31, 2023
As is common in Arriaga’s scripts, the tale finds its potency in the intricate moral grays of the human condition, here portrayed through a collection of strikingly incisive performances by the young cast. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Aug 31, 2023
