Vulcanizadora Ratings & Reviews
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
Vulcanizadora is, at times, discomfitingly hilarious but also deeply affecting.
Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)
Chuck Bowen
This one might be a good first step for those curious about a filmmaker who hides earnestness and poignancy under a cloud of obstinacy.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
He [Potrykus]reminds us that there's still vitality in low-budget independent cinema, and his oddly sorrowful mindbender-flawed and fascinating-leaves its mark.
Asheville Movies
Edwin Arnaudin
Joel Potrykus is the standard-bearer for true independent cinema.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
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.
Spectrum Culture
Josh Goller
Potrykus' first film since becoming a father presents a corresponding shift in the anxieties and compulsions that drive his work's perpetually juvenile characters.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
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.
HorrorBuzz
Norman Gidney
What is our life if not acknowledged in some way by others? VULCANIZADORA explores this idea but serves it with a caustic understanding of the sometimes desperate behavior of humans.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
This is a film that has elements of both James Wan's "Saw" and Kelly Reichert's "Old Joy," an indelible mix of friendship, doubt, despair and expiation.
Vague Visages
Q.V. Hough
"'Vulcanizadora' is an astonishing coming-of-age tale for adults-in-crisis."
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A meandering, elliptical, tedious and unpredictable genre-bending experiment that's ultimately less than the sum of its parts.
Morbidly Beautiful
Stephanie Malone
Intimate and intelligent, this unexpected film leaves you reeling. It seizes the languid, devil-may-care spirit of the 90s and twists it, exploring the ungraceful collision of two former screwups with the unyielding, often sour, landscape of middle age.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
It's not for all tastes, but those on the same offbeat wavelength will find surprising emotional depth in what starts off as a quirky and thinly sketched buddy comedy about midlife crises.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
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.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Spasmodically funny, though hardly a comedy, "Vulcanizadora" is raw, moving and, briefly, horrifying.
Slant Magazine
Seth Katz
Joel Potrykus looks without flinching at the ultimate consequences of permanent adolescence.
Variety
Siddhant Adlakha
Much of the movie's power is owed to Potrykus' own performance as a cartoonish manchild, in the vein of studio comedies led by Adam Sandler or Will Ferrell, only Potrykus is quick to unearth the nuanced layers
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
Potrykus's latest begins as a darkly funny heavy metal comedy that deftly shifts into a poignant existential drama, but it's his and Burge's transformative performances that carry this unconventional gem.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Vulcanizadora is a dark, sombre film, and yet it speaks of something so genuine in such an urgent way that the courage driving it brings with it an implicit kind of hope.
IndieWire
Katie Rife
Vulcanizadora doesn't know how to cope with these truths, and will alienate much, if not most, of its audience as a result. But the honesty with which it expresses these dark thoughts is commendable.
