Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 8/10 by Andy WebsterThe lean handsomeness and quiet authority of Mr. Jean is a perfect complement to Ms. Rodríguez’s passionate Yanelly, while the locations — and the presence of actual inmates — underscore the harsh boundaries the lovers struggle against.
The Film Stage - 8/10 by John FinkCarpinteros’ third act, as exhilarating as its build is, seems to abandon the social realism at the core of the picture, falling back on tired and true genre storytelling that feels like a mismatch between the film’s opening sequences.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Jonathan HollandRaw, intriguing and energetic despite its flaws, the film fades in dramatic power over its final stretch and doesn’t always do justice to the the potential richness of its subject, but until then, it makes for an authentic, distinctive and watchable blend of the tough and the tender.
Screen International - 7/10 by Sarah WardA feature that might not always surprise in its story, but succeeds in its authenticity.
Variety - 6/10 by Dennis HarveyWhile Carpinteros is strong enough in atmosphere and assembly, it’s limited by characters who aren’t developed with great complexity, and a climax that pours on a little too much credulity-stretching hyperbole. The result is a drama that, while OK, falls short of being truly memorable.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Kristen Yoonsoo KimAn uncharacteristically melodramatic final act...betrays how grounded (and true to real life) the rest of the movie is.
