Screen Daily

“Tali Yankelevich shops for success with her debut feature…You’ll look at the guy behind the bakery counter differently next time you do your shopping.”

“Following the day-to-day of workers in the São Paulo supermarket, it depicts their repetition-based activities with wry humor. Almost whimsical at times.”
