Nuns, the wrongfully interned and supernatural forces converge on an asylum, playing duelling protagonists, in “Auxilio,” the latest film from Argentina’s multi-faceted genre darling, Tamae Garateguy (“She Wolf”).

Variety

-----------------------------------------------

“Increíblemente visualizada, sutilmente interpretada, inteligentemente escrita y, además, completamente salvaje, es una película que conmocionará, perturbará, provocará y desafiará.”

GRIMMFEST

-----------------------------------------------

“Tamae Garateguy, conocida por sus audaces reinterpretaciones de películas de género, con obras como Mujer Lobo (2013), continúa su exploración en su última película AUXILIO. Ambientada en la Argentina de principios del siglo 20, la película teje hábilmente elementos delo oculto a través de una lente feminista.”
