- 7.0 VarietyNick Schager
"Cuban-American writer-director Julio Quintana's feature debut has an understated formal loveliness that helps offset its more heavy-handed allegorical inclinations".
Read - 7.0 Los Angeles TimesGary Goldstein
"It's a strange brew: stark yet beautiful, urgent yet dreamlike".
Read - 6.0 The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck
"Filmed in a gorgeous, dreamlike style and Infused with heavy doses of mysticism and allegory, The Vessel is an impressive effort that loses some of its impact, however, for being so derivative".
