Leave your thoughts about Transpecos.
| Film ExperienceNathaniel RogersThe filmmaking team is obviously committed and it's a brisk suspenseful 86 minutes. And the acting is really good. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzWith Transpecos, Kwedar doesn’t offer any easy answers. Instead he points out the problems, how entrenched and intertwined they are, and asks other questions: How far will you go to survive? And will it be enough in the end? |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerThe song playing sombrely over the tail credits is Afraid of Everyone, which is a hell of a way to die, but an even worse way to live. There is no cheer to Transpecos. |
| Austin ChronicleJosh KupeckiAll three leads bring the goods, but it is Luna, carrying much of the emotional weight of the film, who shines the brightest, showing a depth and countenance well beyond his years. |
| Slant MagazineOleg IvanovViolence in Transpecos is sparse, but the filmmakers use it with a narrative precision that highlights the unforgiving consequences that accompanies every choice in this desolate borderland. |
| Village VoiceKenji FujishimaTranspecos distinguishes itself with a sharp ear for dialogue, keen attention to ground-level detail, and an ending that unexpectedly chooses cautious optimism over blanket cynicism. |
| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comCary DarlingLow on budget but high on craft and intelligence, Transpecos is as stark yet rewarding as a West Texas landscape at sunset. |
| The SkinnyMichael JaconelliA three-hander with distinctive performances, and starkly beautiful images conjured from the surrounding desert by cinematographer Jeffrey Waldron. |
| The GateAndrew ParkerSometimes keeping things as uncomplicated as possible can be an asset to a twisty, sparse thriller, but in the case of Transpecos that mindset is a major hindrance. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... retains an even-handed approach to its provocative subject matter and an evocative grasp of its harsh setting. |
