The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
It’s an impressive debut, an ambitious project pulled off with confidence.

IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Di Stefano's memorable debut feature makes up for its lack of sophistication with constant forward motion.
70
Variety - Scott Foundas
"Escobar” offers an odd mix of action movie, romantic melodrama and cautionary traveler’s tale, which works better than it should thanks to Del Toro’s fascinating performance and Di Stefano’s assured, muscular helming.

The New Yorker - Anthony Lane
Meanwhile, everyone in the theatre is thinking: Given that I paid good money to learn about the world’s most frightening cocaine king, why am I watching a movie about the world’s most stupid Canadian?

TheWrap - James Rocchi
Escobar: Paradise Lost plays more like Greek tragedy than the kind of drug-war tale we’d get in a broader, bigger film, and that is no small part of the many reasons it works.
