REACTIONS

This coud be Naishtat’s most widely seen work to date and help consolidate his reputation as an exciting new voice in Argentinean cinema – Boyd van Hoeij, Hollywood Reporter

Naishtat’s subtle, twisting, state-of-the-nation drama works effectively as a noir-like thriller, and as an exploration of a country that has lost its moral compass – Allan Hunter, Screen International
