Director Shirley Cheechoo (who also plays one of the sisters) captures the dead-end existence of the insular community as well as the humor, the anxieties, and the resilience of her protagonists. Go to Full Review Marta Barber Miami Herald 08/18/2021

Lozano is so shallow a character that even when he reveals his past to his son he draws little sympathy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/29/2010 Película regularcilla, una comedia de poca risa y poco argumento... No es de las mejores de Resines, y con una Míriam Díaz Aroca que enseña demasiado y no canta ella... Fernando Ramallo no actúa del todo mal y Maribel Verdú tiene la frescura de aquellos tiempos. En resumen, poco bueno. Yo no la volvería a ver.
