Moratto’s concise firecracker of a movie is straightforward in its soul-crushing blows and an essential piece of social-realist cinema for our times. Read full review

Alan Zilberman

7 Prisoners is an angry film, but Moratto, crucially, reserves his most intense judgment for an inhumane system, not the characters who are trapped by it, each in different ways. Read full review

Survival is easier said that done, and 7 Prisoners is a fraught thriller that wonders at the fragility of the human soul. Read full review

7 Prisoners refuses to cheat, almost to a fault. (It’s art, you’re allowed to cheat a little). That makes it slightly disappointing in the end, but not enough to undo what an adroit snapshot it is of the way exploitation thwarts organization and dulls its opposition. Read full review

If the pay-off aims for the gut and misses, the journey to that point provides a searing microcosm of a corrupt and degrading system. Read full review

Es una película brasileña muy impactante y deprimente. Dato curioso: esta película tiene 4 doblajes en español (latino, mexicano, argentino y español de España).
