REVIEWS
"The directors made an admirable sacrifice for art and documentary film." - Tero Kartastenpää / Helsingin Sanomat (Finland)
"An impressive documentary film far from reportage style, a wide angled visual interpretation, a drama with strong characters. The filmmakers have succeeded in creating a drama as good as any fiction." - Tue Steen Müller / Film consultant, critic and former director of the European Documentary Network (Denmark)
“It is a very good film. It was a wonderful cinematic surprise for its power and complexity. It is a film that doesn’t cheapen the situation. It is complex. I particularly like this type of cinema. I prefer cinema that makes me think.” - Luiz Zanin / Film critic / Rede TVT (Brazil)
"Eloquent and sensitive. Dreamlike quality interrupted by occasional bursts of violence. Balanced glimpse into the consequences of Colombian's much-heralded peace accord." - Nick Holdsworth / The European Documentary Magazine (United Kingdom)
“Colombia in My Arms is an important documentary on the current panorama of Colombian society. The filmmakers go straight to the point.” - Jorge Cruz Jr. / Apostila de Cinema (Brazil)
