Reviews

“Seductive, distressing and unforgettable.” – The Hollywood Reporter

“Inside a boxy aspect ratio, auteur Víctor Checa paints a deliberately drab vision of Lima, Peru, where the atmospheric cinematography and lo-fi elements of technology in the narrative create a gritty and grounded take on science fiction. Both Molina and Bacilio’s understated performances match the somber energy.” – LA Times

“This little contemporary science-fiction drama about machine-versus-nature is at times hypnotic, bursting with dark lyricism. At times it seems to evoke Tarkosvky….” – Dirty Movies

“Debutant V. Checa builds an intricate and noirish world in this semi-sci-fi tale of man-machine and father-son relationships.” – Tallinn Black Nights
