    Landes's tone is never salacious or exploitative, nor for that matter pandering or sentimental. This is a sui generis work—warm, sporadically funny, deeply human, and altogether beguiling.

    Porfirio's view of physical disability often mesmerizes despite its glacial progress and stingy way with narrative information.

    Alejandro Landes's Porfirio is an ugly movie to watch, but it's not without purpose.

    Vividly depicting the indignities of the flesh, Porfirio offers a harshly sensual portrait of a man imprisoned by paralysis and the callousness of the state.
