Media reviews
The Guardian
This overpoweringly tense and deeply mad thriller from Colombian film-maker Alejandro Landes is the best thing I have seen at Berlin this year: something between 'Apocalypse Now', 'Lord of the Flies' and 'Embrace of the Serpent'.
The Telegraph
There?s a bicep-flexing quality to Landes?s direction, with its bursts of colour and chaos, its conjuration of a surreal experience out of tactile reality. You tumble out of it bruised, bewildered, mesmerised.
The Hollywood Reporter
Even in this fictional context, the line between portraying and exploiting abused innocence gets uncomfortably, offensively blurred.
Indiewire
Aided by 'Under the Skin' composer Micah Levi?s thunderous score, Landes delivers a suspenseful encapsulation of alienated youth enmeshed in pointless battles that can only lead to further destruction.
