REVIEWS

A genuine tribute to the pioneers of rock, rarely seen in Argentine cinema.
Javier Sinay, Revista Rolling Stone (Argentina)

The holy trinity: sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll from the late ’60s. A captivating culture-clash.
Gaspar Zimmerman, Clarín (Argentina)

A timeless film with humble beauty, which gives moments of unequaled nobility and fascination. Quattrini is a pure filmmaker.
Sebastian Pimentel, El Comercio (Perú)

Quattrini sensibly regains the feeling of a generation that went to school with Don Juan and dreamed of finding the meaning of life, instead of wealth and power.
Alessandra Levantesi, La Stampa (Italia)

A mix of rock biopic, Herzogian road movie, and psychedelic trip. Moving, with great music and an amazing sense of place.
Diego Lerer, Micropsia (Argentina)

The best fiction about rock (and Ayahuasca) that has been given in our country. Quattrini is one of the most original filmmakers of his generation.
Raúl Cachay, Cosas (Perú)

An adventure story and a psychedelic trip. As ambitious as it is fascinating.
Diego Battle, Otroscines.com (Argentina)

Risky, visceral, free of any formula.
Hugo Sánchez, Tiempo Argentino (Argentina)
