press for Sediments
"A vehicle for delving deeper into the reality of people who have been bravely going against the grain to lead the lives they want to lead, fighting against mindsets and social prejudice."- The Hollywood Times
"SEDIMENTS is not an idealised picture of trans womens’ relationships with one another, as demonstrated by the conflicts between Yolanda and Cristina, and the film is all the stronger for it."- We Love Cinema
