Robert Abele Los Angeles Times It's a movie that ultimately may mean more to those raised in heavily Catholic cultures, but it has an engaging prickliness as a satiric peek into the life of a brooding idealist. Sep 29, 2016 Full Review Yonca Talu Film Comment Magazine Working within a tradition of heightened, impressionistic satire, Veiroj demonstrates a rare aptitude for depicting his distraught protagonist's emotional world. Sep 26, 2016 Full Review Leah Pickett Chicago Reader This Spanish-Uruguayan satire about a man struggling to leave his Catholic church in Madrid offers a wry absurdist take on existential crisis without resorting to cliche. Sep 15, 2016 Full Review Lucía Ros Serra Espinof Tamayo and his arduous task of denying the Christian religion, his immaturity and even his cruelty, will end up being irremediably endearing to us. [Full Review in Spanish] Apr 15, 2020 Full Review José Teodoro Cinema Scope ... inflected with a sense of mischief and wonder that teeters on the edge of the devotional. Oct 12, 2017 Full Review Horacio Bilbao Clarín A film where the bureaucracy of the religious institutions and the cynicism of the bishops is well exposed.
