Critics Consensus

A coming-of-age tale that's more cloying than affecting.

Marc Savlov

Austin Chronicle

Whether you ease into the languid and semi-treacly flow of this big-hearted Argentinean import or instead scoff at the child's-eye platitudes contained within will have much to do with your tolerance of preposterously cute moppets in dire straits.

Rated: 3/5

Jeff Strickler

Minneapolis Star Tribune

Sporting thick, black-rimmed glasses, a runaway imagination and enough nervous energy to light up Manhattan, Noya turns what could have been a pitiful character into a rambunctious imp.

Rated: 3/4

Common Sense Media

Coming-of-age family drama has mature themes, cursing.

Charming, poignant, sweet look at a difficult family from the point of view of a precocious eight year old child. A touching story that stirs the heart.
