Twitter Capsule: A Bluest Eye for a kinky-haired Venezuelan kid. As sensitive as Tomboy to a genderqueer child. Impressive in all aspects.

VOR:   As observant as the best recent Latin American cinema. DNA of New Wave, neorealism, too. Works as personal and political story. "Minor," but nails its tasks.
