“Striving for a doctrine that inhales and exhales pragmatism and due to a frame composition and handheld aesthetic that is absorbing and not distracting, with the assurance of a seasoned auteur, Bahrani guides a young non-actor into a docu-fiction territory and it takes all but five minutes for the tender aged, young protag played by Alejandro Polanco to bluff the viewer into believing that every facet of this fictionalized tale is absolute truth.”
