The results are mixed -- a handful of moments of genuine, undeniable power, interspersed with a fair number of listless scenes.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Overview
Julia, a 25 year-old university student, two weeks pregnant, with no criminal record, is sent to prison. Julia murdered the father of her child. This story addresses maternity, jail and Justice; confinement, guilt and solitude; but above all it deals with Julia and her son, Tomas, born inside an Argentinean prison.

The dimly lit, exquisitely composed cinematography, by Guillermo Nieto, adds to the draw of this highly recommended movie.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post

Although it is not a comedy, Lion's Den is suffused with sense of life lived in the present. Even the grimmest moments are not exploited to instill fear and loathing.
Stephen Holden, New York Times

Part meticulous character study, part hyperrealist drama...

A portrait of a subculture whose members take pride in walking their kids to the penitentiary's pre-K class.
