Adam Nayman The Ringer That it's hard at times to tell what's authentic and what's speculative here is very much the point of the enterprise, but the mix of radical ideology and hybrid aesthetics is completely galvanizing. Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Beatrice Loayza New York Times Though Pimenta and Queirós sprinkle science-fiction touches throughout the film, their approach is steeped in renegade documentary methods and influenced by the contributions of real locals. Apr 20, 2023 Full Review Wes Greene Slant Magazine The film surprises by revealing deeper layers to both its subjects and social commentary. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 16, 2023 Full Review Alejandro Lingenti La Nación (Argentina) The film mixes fiction with documentary to paint a conflictive social portrait that's focused and serious, yet not without doses of humor...

In the 153 minutes of the film, there is so much power, so much questioning of fascism, so much cinema that is alive and far from demagogy and complacency that all its excesses and carelessness can be forgiven. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Dry Ground Burning is not content with simply dismantling barriers between film genres; it weaves an intricate plot that fuses elements of post-apocalyptic sci-fi, musical comedy, and Latin American documentary.
