    Maravillosa. Te vas a reír, vas a llorar, lo prometo. Los cortes en el momento perfecto, los chistes internos que crea con el espectador, como en Oscar puedes ver a tu papá, a tu profesor, a tu amigo, a ti. Un poema - y una crítica demasiado astuta - sobre lo que es vivir…

    10/10 Feliz de que esta joya sea colombiana, aunque es un tema denso me encanto la trama , el sube y baja de emociones es espectacular asi como el golpe de realidad sobre temas como la inequidad social, el arte estratificado, la depresión y adicciones. (llore)

This finely shaded character study of a recalcitrant social pariah feels more than anything else like an existential parable.

Few leave unscathed as the handheld camera whip-pans and fast-zooms between cringe-comedy and genuine pathos and back again — especially once the hapless prof paves his own road to hell with his good intentions.
