- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's sad, funny, shocking and completely unlike any movie in a dozen years."
-
"Has its faults, but it's Barbet Schroeder's most relevant and interesting film in over a decade"
-
"The intimate love story is overwhelmed by the carnage. It may be an accurate picture of life in Medellin, but it's not convincing"
-
"[This] adaptation of Fernando Vallejo's 1994 novel has a naturalistic freedom and ease that is both refreshing and direct in the way it tells a deeply disturbing story."
-
"Una oda vigorizante a la ciudad, un lugar de dolorosa belleza y pobreza, envuelto por un halo desconcertante de cultura antigua y nihilismo moderno"
-
"A scathing, darkly funny political essay wrapped inside a tragic love story (or vice versa)"
