"8.12.2022 Aavikon Simo on aitoa Bunuelia, tällä kertaa lyhyenä versiona, mikä on aivan hyvä, koska eipä tämä kyllä enempää pituutta olisi tarvinnutkaan. Hörhöilylle on aivan tarpeeksi tilaa kukkia eikä filmi kuitenkaan tunnu millään tavalla liian täyteen ahdetulta tai kiireiseltä. (Kristin)uskonnolliset pyörittelyt ovat jälleen pääosassa. Lopetus on viehättävä."

"Esta película está incompleta por alguna razón. Acaba de forma super extraña y brusca cuando parece que apenas se va a desarrollar. Aún así la recomiendo. "
