Stephen Saito Variety Jan 22
A good old-fashioned tearjerker with some enlivening flourishes, like the orchids that peek out of the shrubbery in Mechi’s garden. Go to Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Nov 22
B-
Endara explores the harsh realities of the class divide as well as immigration, with grace. The heart of this lovely, if overlong film is the odd bond that is formed by the two women. García, so good in Sebastian Lelio’s Gloria, is especially wonderful. Go to Full Review Gisela Savdie El Heraldo Sep 8
Favoring reflection and contemplation over melodrama, the film discovers in intimacy a space of resistance and unexpected bonds. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site May 23
2/4
Other than establishing that there are many lonely, even desperate people in Panama City & that individuals from different social backgrounds, under certain conditions, can form a meaningful bond, it is not clear how much new ground Beloved Tropic breaks.

Ana Endara’s tender and gracious film is often funny, sometimes a little biting, but always kind. Jenny Navarrete and the always wonderful Paulina García bring to life the two women with elegance: never overplaying their parts for simple sentimentality. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
