Shot in luminous black-and-white in the Colombian Amazon, Embrace of the Serpent looks like a series of animated photographs torn from the colonial explorers' journals that inspired it. Jul 29, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

While Guerra clearly owes a debt to Herzog and Coppola, he blazes his own trail. I can't wait to take this trip again. Jun 12, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The journeys of two explorers, four generations apart, into the Colombian Amazon are beautiful, frightful, and at their wildest, half-crazed. Jul 29, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's hard to argue with an artistic vision as utterly distinctive as Guerra's. Even when his story stutters, it's hard not to be seduced by the sheer immersion of his filmmaking. Apr 30, 2019 | Full Review…

A film that shoots for the moon and lands with ease, grace and nuance; a landing so perfect it infuses the viewer with a love of cinema and its possibilities. Apr 2, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

It almost feels like a religious experience, watching a movie that's as beautifully alien and removed from convention as Embrace of the Serpent. Feb 21, 2019 | Rating: 8.5/10 | Full Review…

The time is our best card and our worst at the same time. Time is like the embrace of the serpent: it is warm but, at the same time, is really suffocating. Enjoy the marvellous hug. [Full review in Spansih] Dec 12, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…
