VarietyPeter DebrugeMay 12, 2021

Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpMay 7, 2021
As an arrival, Undergods impresses, but what’s under the surface needs finessing. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMay 7, 2021
There’s “cryptic” and “vague” and then “incoherent to everyone else” and unfortunately, Moya sets up shop at that end of the spectrum. Read full review
