	Media	Author	Review
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A well-made, conceptually questionable immigrant drama (...) Jonas Cuaron's sharply made but simplistic second feature shares a reductive view of immigrant and border issues"
		Nikola Grozdanovic IndieWire	"The film showcases a fantastically simple concept that withers and dies under needless sentimentality, increasingly tedious plot development, and a climax that's everything but quick and painless"
		Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"Director Jonás Cuarón has some of his father Alfonso’s knack for physical tension, but his second feature is limited by its monochrome morality (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
