Variety by Jay Weissberg

The pic is full of nicely observed vignettes that act as signifiers of caste, though at times the script turns overly didactic.

Los Angeles Times by Noel Murray

Barbosa skillfully skewers the presumptions of rich folks who presume they deserve all that they've gotten, even as they're squandering it.
