Leave your thoughts about Diamantino.
| Film InquiryDavid FontanaDiamantino might not be as clever or witty as it clearly tries to be, but for a fun, absurdist satire, it's often a riot of a good time. |
| One Room With A ViewStephanie WattsA wild ride from start to finish, with gorgeous and inventive compositing and a lovably naïve character at the centre of it all, Diamantino is the modern day fairytale response to celebrity culture that you never knew you needed. |
| Philadelphia Gay NewsGary M. KramerThis bonkers film features body-altering genetic procedures, evil twins, political satire and - cuteness overload! - giant, fluffy puppies. The parts may be greater than the whole, but "Diamantino" is a wild and truly original film. |
| Bloody DisgustingRafael MotamayorDiamantino is a bonkers and ambitious political allegory for the times we live in, one that is also incredibly funny and inventive. |
| Globe and MailBarry HertzPart political satire, part fantasy, part I-don't-even-know-what, Diamantino is exactly the type of surreal concoction that begs to be discovered by unsuspecting audiences. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonAbrantes and Schmidt keep things light and constantly inventive, but Diamantino's perpetual selflessness makes the darker satire about the creep of right-wing 'build that wall' ideology bite deep. |
| SciFiNowKambole CampbellThere's a wonderful method to the madness of Diamantino, which crams an unbelievable amount of commentary into a surreal, entertaining 90 minutes. |
| AWFJ Women on FilmAlexandra Heller-NicholasDiamantino is both a clear provocation and, simultaneously, an utter delight. |
| Black Girl NerdsSezín Koehler'Diamantino' presents today's complicated socio-political world through the eyes of a Zoolander-esque soccer star, to surprising and charming effects. |
| NOW TorontoKevin RitchieDiamantino gleefully reflects back this surreal moment when the world is simultaneously becoming more closed off and more open. |
