	Media	Author	Review
		Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Enjoyably ambitious (...) The picture itself is a hybrid of art house and genre cinema, combining sharp social commentary with grand guignol fantasy."
		John Hopewell Variety	"A flagship for Brazil’s auteur genre cinema (...) A tribute to the enduring near supernatural power of maternal love"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Genre defying and genuinely unexpected (...) Thematically rich, it weaves together fantasy horror elements with commentaries on class, race, sexuality and motherhood."
		Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"With Estiano and Zuaa performing a beautifully calibrated emotional duet (...) There are moments to treasure throughout"
		Serena Donadoni Village Voice	"Zuaa’s quiet intensity is hypnotic"
		Oliver Lyttelton The Playlist	"It looks beautiful throughout, thanks to 'Zama' and 'Tabu' cinematographer Rui Pocas, and the performances (...) are terrific, with a mighty performance from Zuaa"
