Jonathan Perry

Boston Globe

A grittily beautiful film that looks, sounds, and feels more like an extended, open-ended poem than a traditionally structured story.

Rated: 2.5/4

While the performances are often engaging, this loose collection of largely improvised numbers would probably have worked better as a one-hour TV documentary.

I smiled all the way through this, despite it being a Spanish language film that I was watching with French subtitles. I don't think I missed out on anything though, and the music spoke for itself, as you would expect. A beautifully simple documentary.
