Somos.: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times The series is at once well constructed and slightly less than convincing. When A True Story That Needs to Be Told meets This Would Make a Great Movie, the movie always wins. Jul 2, 2021 Full Review Somos.: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter It's much more a tapestry of a diverse community on the brink of something horrible than a voyeuristic depiction of an atrocity, which gives it depth even when some parts of its vast ensemble never quite feel fully conceived or embodied. Jun 30, 2021 Full Review Somos.: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com There are times when Somos looks remarkable, and the craft is always strong, but I was struck too often by how little investment I had in the show. Jun 30, 2021 Full Review Somos.: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) José de Jesús Chávez Martínez EscribiendoCine The interspersed images, staging, and narration of events allow the audience to piece the puzzle together and experience profound terror since Somos. reflects a Mexican reality. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Somos.: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Ernesto Diezmartinez Letras Libres With a script adapted by Monika Revilla and by the novelist Fernanda Melchor, Somos. takes up the accumulation of information collected by Thompson through half a dozen semi-fictional stories that are skilfully intertwined. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 30, 2021 Full Review Somos.: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media But what makes the series meaningful is its ability to present a group of fictional characters that holistically represent the very real 300-500 men, women, and children who were kidnapped and murdered.
