Gods of Mexico Reviews
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
This nominal portrait of people isn't interested in what they have to say.
Slant Magazine
William Repass
Helmut Donsantos's counterintuitive recombination of what would seem to be mutually exclusive inspirations, each with its own temporal framework, allows him to offer for our contemplation a vision uniquely his own.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
Summons up memories of the beginning of documentary filmmaking -- the Urtext films by Robert Flaherty...anthropological in nature...as magical as it is mesmerizing.
Boulder Weekly
Michael J. Casey
Stunning cinematography and a wonderful exercise in imagination.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
An insightful and dynamic visual essay, this documentary finds beauty and compassion both in the rugged landscapes of rural Mexico and the resilient and resourceful indigenous people who live there.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
A visually sumptuous ode to the extraordinary beauties of its titular country, "Gods of Mexico" is filled with images detailing a great variety of people and activities, the sum total of the collection adding up to an étude in stunning cinematography.

Zachary Goldkind
This well-meaning survey of beauty and might quickly collapses into the ornamental.

Christian Gallichio
Each shot could work as a standalone photograph, with the landscapes almost swallowing the people working within them.
Cine Sin Fronteras
Rene Sanchez
A poetic portrayal of Mexico's rich culture and traditions that continue to be preserved despite the constant threat of modernity. [Full Review in Spanish]

It will blow you away.
Fort Worth Report
Joe Friar
A visual and auditory treat from writer-director Helmut Dosantos. Surreal and haunting at times, the documentary is a beautiful tribute to the indigenous people and the breathtaking landscape of Mexico.
