“… one of the qualities that stands out is the cinematography, courtesy of Manuel Meinhardt, as it manages to effectively convey the lead character’s emotional turmoil – including his darkest instincts – while never falling into the clichés of overemphasis. It strikes a balance between static and moving shots when it comes to framing Gabo or showing us his point of view.” - Davide Abbatescianni for CINEUROPA
