Critics Consensus

Darkly funny even while tinged with mounting dread, Vulcanizadora is another micro-budgeted gem in Joe Potrykus' indie crown.

Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

The ending’s a downer, all right, but you might just smile too. Then feel bad about it. Then chuckle. Which is when you realize Potrykus has you right where he wants you.

Most of its impact comes from going into the movie without any preparation and feeling as if you’re watching a blank tabletop being filled in with puzzle pieces until a full picture emerges.

Rated: 3/4

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

Spasmodically funny, though hardly a comedy, “Vulcanizadora” is raw, moving and, briefly, horrifying.

Josh Goller

Spectrum Culture

Potrykus’ first film since becoming a father presents a corresponding shift in the anxieties and compulsions that drive his work’s perpetually juvenile characters.

Rated: 4.25/5

Jennie Kermode

Eye for Film

Although its characters are middle aged, their childish games in the first half signal a kind of coming of age; and yet unlike most films on that theme, which end when childhood is left behind, it keeps us there to explore what it means to be an adult.

Rated: 4.5/5

Warped Perspective

Ultimately, this film is a tragedy about being overlooked – how it feels to never get the hang of living in a world which judges you, using criteria you never agreed.
