A group of misfits converges at Babel, a legendary dive bar that doubles as Purgatory, where La Flaca--the city’s Grim Reaper--presides. Here, souls gamble years of their lives with her, daring to outwit Death herself. Steeping us in the intoxicating brew of a tropical Colombian steampunk fever dream, first-time feature director Gala del Sol creates a mesmerizing, fantastical world where life and death collide and fates turn on the roll of dice.

Drew Gregory Autostraddle This is a very sincere film about life and death and self-acceptance, but it’s also endless fun. Feb 1, 2025 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Students of 14th-century narrative poetry might question how much of the source material made it into this retro-futurist urban fantasy but, as a showcase for del Sol’s playfully iconoclastic vision, the picture fizzes with energy and mischief. Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com This is a director with plenty on their mind—homophobia, self-hatred, poisonous machismo, queer communities and dogmatic religion—and makes a canvas, in this case the city of Cali, Colombia, to express them on. Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat Totally transgressive, delightfully deviant and absolutely addictive. Rated: 10/10 Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Stephen Dalton The Film Verdict Colombian writer-director Gala del Sol’s stylish debut feature is an audacious, ambitious, kaleidoscopic carnival of queerness loosely based on Dante’s ‘Inferno’. Rated: 3/4 Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Cody Dericks Next Best Picture With vibrant locations and even more vibrant characters, it’s a story about the dead that’s bursting with life. Rated: 7/10 Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
