It's an evocative movie... The big problem I have is that José as a character is a bit of a blank. February 15, 2020 | Full Review…

The satisfactions of "José" as a whole offers are considerable, and they begin with the human element. February 7, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

"José" is hardly the first movie to spotlight a young person navigating their homosexuality... Nonetheless... this sophomore feature.. feels like a singular and essential entry in that subset of LGBTQ coming-of-age films with an international beat. February 7, 2020 | Full Review…

As opposed to numerous gay-themed features from Latin America, the consequences for his characters are not violent. That's not because hatred has subsided, but because the pair has learned to suppress in order to survive. January 29, 2020 | Full Review…

José is brutally honest about sex in a way movies seldom are. The alternately sweaty-palmed and lackadaisical buildup of online hookups, as well as the occasional, inevitable deflating disappointment of such trysts are captured just as they happen. February 8, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Li Cheng's sophomore effort is a quiet, almost neo-realist, look into life as a young gay man in conservative Guatemala that's as beautiful as it is moving. January 31, 2020 | Full Review…
