Reviews

"Santa & Andres" begins as a film about separation and pain, but becomes a movie about reconciliation and healing.

Monica Castillo, New York Times

With quiet precision, Lechuga charts Andres's resilience and Santa's awakening, using a naturalistic visual style and sparse dialogue that reveals how these characters instinctively read between the lines.

Serena Donadoni, Village Voice
