Simón (2023).
The film was received positively by the audience and critics. An approval rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes indicates this.
Diario ABC has stated: “This is an affluent, quite worked-out film, within which there are archival documents depicting some of the enormous demonstrations of the period (…) It is not too overt and is deft in the way it deals with its topics.”
Crónica.uno on the other hand stated: “This is a feature film which is fictional in nature but contributes to the historical narrative yet the fiction seems plausible depicting an event that is still so real.”
Hoy Sale Cine classified it when describing Simón as “this is an extraordinary film showing us why we need to care more about the Venezuelan crisis. The movie takes sides showing the constant need for fighting against dictators and most importantly, change must never be advocated only.”
