Critic Reviews for Lupe Under the Sun (Lupe bajo el sol)

All Critics (4) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (3)

"A laconic and minimalist narrative tone that betrays its belonging to the slow-cinema, which, at least from this trench, is already exhausted".

Ernesto Diezmartinez
Cine Vértigo
Although Lupe Under the Sun is an intimate film, it lacks emotions and has an unconvincing outcome that does not offer any kind of catharsis. [Full Review in Spanish]

Luis Fernando Galván
En Filme
Taking "slow-paced" to new heights, Lupe Under the Sun depicts so little that it becomes a bit confusing.

Tori Brazier
One Room With A View
A film with a documentary, a rhythm prone to monotony, and a virtually nonexistent visual discourse. [Full review in Spanish]
