Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 04/25/2019
"Marilyn" isn't another take on Hollywood's iconic bombshell but rather a gripping, sensitive coming-of-age drama set in Argentina. Go to Full Review Jay Weissberg Variety 03/05/2018

4/5
This quietly observational drama makes some strong comments about the grip of machismo in Latin America. The depiction is complex and textured. Go to Full Review Alistair Ryder Gay Essential 05/02/2019
