Reviews say...

"An example of the best contemporary European social cinema, marked by moments of intense emotional impact."

★★★★

La Razón Journal

"The journey is well worth it — not only because it’s filled with truth (at its core, it’s Oms’s own story), but also because what stands out is a certain elegance in both the form and the way the film handles the many themes that cross its path. A superb debut — highly recommended"

★★★★

La Vanguardia

"Mario Casas delivers his best performance (...) a powerful debut—a drama rooted in the finest tradition of European social cinema, portraying immigration, the search for identity, and the healing of oneself and one’s relationship with the world around them"

Cadena SER

"(...) Mario Casas continues steadily on his path to step out of his comfort zone and embrace new causes and cinematic projects. 'Away' may be one of his best performances, as convincingly portraying his character’s downward spiral on screen is anything but easy"
