What are critics saying?

Variety by

Has a poignant emotional core in the truthful description of its characters' despairing lives.

Empire by David Parkinson

This tale of Mexican poverty refuses to lapse into sensation or melodrama.

L.A. Weekly by Ella Taylor

This powerfully rough slice of neo-realism, hitched to soapy melodrama, puts a heartbreakingly human face on the widespread problem of sexual assault in Mexico.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Very strong stuff, and Sistach has inspired such young actors as Ayala and Gutiérrez to give sustained and harrowing portrayals.
