González gets the tonal mix about right and this film suggests she'll be a name to watch out for in the future. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International 09/06/2019
It's an engaging but rather slight story, given heft by a sensual central performance from Peruvian actress Magali Solier and sparkle by the fantasy musical sequences which are threaded into the fabric of the picture. Go to Full Review Rodrigo Portales Cinencuentro 10/03/2022
