What are critics saying?

The New York Times by

Mr. Sibille breaks no sweat under the scrutiny, giving a quiet, concentrated performance that lends heft to less than revelatory material.

Variety by Deborah Young

Though convincingly set in the lower depths of Lima, the story embodies a universal truth about the experience of former soldiers in many times and places.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

Mendez directs with remarkable assurance, using B&W footage to suggest the monochromatic clarity Santiago craves, as well as color to depict the riotous reality that threatens to overwhelm him.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

Pietro Sibille is exceptional as Santiago, and the rest of the cast turn in dynamic performances.
