Press:
The Hollywood Reporter:
"Mascaro’s films have been notable for his mastery of color and light, a quality still very much in evidence in his first collaboration with DP Guillermo Garza. The lush green jungles flanking the river are almost iridescent, the skies are a pristine blue, and the sparkling ripples of the Amazon and all its sinuous curves are hypnotic.“
Screen Daily:
"Throughout, the film follows its own twisting route, by water or otherwise, with DoP Guillermo Garza capturing some magnificent river vistas."
Ion Cinema:
"Memo Guerra’s score collides with DP Guillermo Garza’s sumptuous visuals, especially in a climactic duel between a red and white betta fish, the outcome of which will be the actual determination of Tereza’s ‘future.”
