B-
A potent but emotionally diffuse coming-of-age drama in which everything -- even faith, even love -- has the potential to be as exploitative as the deforestation that continues to eat away at the soul of the Amazon. Go to Full Review David Robb Slant Magazine 08/17/2024
2/4
Plunging headlong into the murk of exploitative missionary work and environmentally destructive capitalism, Transamazonia is a film with undeniable import and sociopolitical urgency, which its muddled narrative can’t completely dampen. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com 08/16/2024
There’s enough mystique in “Transamazonia” to make it spellbinding and haunting. Go to Full Review Bill Arceneaux Moviegoing with Bill Oct 29
3.5/5
On the precipice of being near-greatness, the film plays as more character-driven than what I was hoping would be balanced with a CTA or call to action. It's potent, but not perfect. It's blatant, but brilliant. Go to Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending 12/19/2024

Marais’ film is captivating and, often, majestic but a definite slow-burn that might test the patience of some filmgoers. The film truly comes alive in the final reel when Rebecca aligns herself with the tribe. Go to Full Review Olga Artemyeva ScreenAnarchy 10/17/2024
The rainforest comes alive with many closeups of insects and constant splashes of light trying to penetrate the darkness, and the land becomes its own character, the most important one. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
