    ★★★★

    so extremely perverted. i loved every second. watching this film meant submitting to the allure of monstrosity, to the ecstasy of fear, to the beauty of the obscene. Nosferatu summoned a sublime interplay of grotesque eroticism and existential dread.

    ★★★★

    this is such a haunting dissection of the blurred lines between perception and reality, a neo-noir psychological thriller. a great critique on celebrity culture and the commodification of identity. visuals are jarring and the narrative is greatly fragmented. there is an incredible obsession with image and voyeurism that is woeful and completely permanent. what is real???

    ★★★★½

    Incredibly poignant and visually rich film. This is a potent reminder of the universal desire for identity and home. The sacrifices that come with running for a better life with the fierce tie to one's roots. Frías’ vulnerable encapsulation of adapting to cultural displacement and the indomitable strength of the human spirit is not only raw, but deeply spiritual.
