Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
Carrera's direct, unadorned style has none of the searing imagery or cinematic imagination of "Y Tu Mama," but it bristles with passion, anger and a palpable sense of betrayal.

Washington Post -
May be morally tangled, pessimistic, lurid and foreboding, but it's also humanistic.

New York Post -
Commendably, Carrera steers clear of preachiness in his exploration of a timely and relevant issue, and Bernal's transformation from naive priest to tortured adulterer to hard-nosed careerist is riveting.

ReelViews -
Not an indictment of the Catholic Church as a whole, but a thought-provoking look at what can happen when decent individuals are seduced by the power of their position.

Charlotte Observer -
Carrera directs with a light touch, letting the screenplay speak for itself.
