- 90Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleIt’s a deceptively dimensional portrayal, that of someone who worries his stage is getting smaller and smaller. And in Frias’ magnetic feature is enough spirit, sound and artistry to give his journey a meaningful spotlight.
- 75RogerEbert.comChristy LemireRogerEbert.comChristy LemireI'm No Longer Here (“Ya no estoy aqui”) is one of those Netflix movies you’ll wish you’d watched on the big screen. The film from Mexico City-born writer/director Fernando Frias de le Parra is so gorgeously shot and offers such a rich sense of place that it’s always visually compelling, even when the narrative tends to sag a bit.
- 75The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThere is a semi-frustrating sense that Frias hasn’t quite made the movie that he wanted to – that either time was not on his side or that he fussed too much in the editing booth.
- 70The New York TimesNatalia WinkelmanThe New York TimesNatalia WinkelmanFrías de la Parra is thoughtful and precise in conveying the cultural identity of these young people, and their spirit pulses through the story.
- 70VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeFrías isn’t trying to change policy so much as perceptions.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyAs a glimpse of a distinctive world and what happens when a young man who thrives within it gets uprooted, the film will yield low-key charms for patient viewers.
