PRESS & REVIEWS
"The simplicity and rawness of Mora & Chenchi is refreshing, and perhaps the most notable aspect of the film. Viewers who are used to action, striking cinematography, or profound dialogue may find it dull, but it is an authentic depiction of the dynamic between two people reconnecting and relearning one another. It truly evokes nostalgia and the feeling of reuniting with someone you have not seen in a long time, and it does so without any cheap gimmicks or complicated twists and turns."
