A coming of age narrative based on a love story that is tragically interrupted. Great performances!
A great short film which succeeds to grab the burning topic of the kidnapping and sex trafficking of young girls in Mexico while delivering an intimate and universal portrait of two teenagers. Oscar qualified for 2020...
I've heard of the missing girls in Mexico but I didn't know much about it. This opened my eyes to a tragic issue that is still ongoing in Mexico. It's a heartbreaking situation, and it's important for these people's stories to be told.
In terms of production value and quality of storytelling, this is one of the best I've seen from this year's entries.

"Sin Cielo" is a very good film that voices an important issue: the disappearance of a person and the value of life. It's made in a documentary style that makes its impact more powerful.
From the opening scene to the end this film is a collection of great pictures. Just seeing the party with the camera down at the feet of the adults allows us to see the point of view of a child. As the story progresses there are surprises but all of them feel appropriate and have symmetry with this world. A talented writer and director and I want to see more!!!!!
