Critical reception

All three films received generally positive reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes reports that Volume 1 has a 96% score based on 27 reviews, with an average rating of 8.2/10.[17] Volume 2 has a 100% score based on 10 reviews, with an average rating of 8/10.[18] Volume 3 has a 92% score based on 13 reviews, with an average rating of 7.6/10.[19] On Metacritic, Volume 1 has an 80 out of 100 rating based on 9 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[20] Volume 2 has an 81 out of 100 rating based on 8 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[21] Volume 3 has an 80 out of 100 rating based on 8 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[22]

Boyd van Hoeij of The Hollywood Reporter called the first part a "frequently fascinating collage of stories"[23] and the second part "an appropriately striking, dramatic and even mirthful work that, however, would make little sense on its own."[24]

Richard Brody of The New Yorker considered the series a "passionately investigative, floridly imaginative triptych" and its first installment "an uproarious and scathing, compassionate and urgent outburst.”[25] Brody went on to conclude that "Gomes single-handedly reinvent[ed] the political cinema.”[26]
