The Kings of the World (Spanish: Los reyes del mundo) is a 2022 internationally co-produced drama road movie directed by Laura Mora Ortega.

In a dangerous journey between delirium and nothingness, the group leaves the city and enters the depths of the Colombian interior.

The site's consensus reads, "Journeying between lyricism and brutal reality, The Kings of the World is a hopeful trip towards freedom away from the city where it cruelly dead ends".

He also raved about David Gallego's camera work, which captures "the poignant beauty of the Colombian jungle [...] in all its splendor."

"In the end, we feel that we have witnessed an important work, a portrait of a time and place as comprehensive and precise as it is poetic and moving," says the critic.

[15] Guy Lodge (Variety)[16] saw a "raw, offbeat coming-of-age drama" that transcends the sentimentality that tends to dominate the genre "with a delirious, even surreal energy in its five-story Medellin street children".
