What is most unexpected about Permission is its sense of poignancy and tenderness. In its own way, it's quite heartbreaking. February 9, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Stevens and Hall are always interesting to watch. (In fact, you should watch him in "The Guest" and her in "The Awakening," if you want to see two excellent, lesser-known films.) February 8, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The film is daring enough to earn your goodwill early and as it unfolds, it's refreshing to see a film about relationships that aims for the head more than the heart. October 23, 2018 | Full Review…

It is a work that raises an interesting debate about the importance given to monogamy... and the consequences that could result from ceasing to practice it. [Full review in Spanish] August 21, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
