A woman is recruited to a prison controlled by organized crime while another woman searches for her missing daughter. Through images that submerges us in a journey from north to south Mexico, both testimonies collide and take us to the center of a storm: a country where violence has taken control of our lives, our desires and our dreams.

The Hollywood Reporter by Boyd van Hoeij
The film has two powerful, loosely connected stories to tell but not a unifying vision that could package the often-potent material for maximum impact.

Cerebral and emotional, Tempestad is a road movie fuelled by the memories of unjust punishment. It’s a bumpy but illuminating ride.

The visuals here are interesting because Adela is a circus clown and we get see a lot of the colorful life around her performances.
Slant Magazine by Jesse Cataldo
This is a heartfelt essay film that digs into several instances of trauma occasioned by Mexico's drug war.
The subtlety of [Tatiana Huezo‘s] approach interlaces ideas, resonances and emotions in ever-shifting, eternally edifying ways. And it ultimately promotes the film from human interest journalism to a grand work of socio-political critique and a quietly radical remodeling of familiar documentary formats.
