Lovia Gyarkye Hollywood Reporter Before Daniela Forever goes off the rails in a disappointing series of twists, it pulls us in with a visual style that distinguishes it from others with a familiar premise... Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Jourdain Searles indieWire Though its darkness may be alienating, there’s something to be said about a love story that isn’t afraid to admit that one of the lovers isn’t the charming dreamboat he appears to be. And to Golding’s credit, there’s no vanity in his portrayal of Nicolas. Rated: B Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Zachary Lee RogerEbert.com Vigalondo challenges that we all have to wake up sometime, no matter how deep our grief. Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Olivia Popp Cineuropa The filmmaker twists the boundary between the two worlds up through its cryptic, surrealist ending, leaving viewers to speculate on its final meaning – just like a dream itself. Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Randy Meeks Espinof Daniela Forever outlines its own universe and also manipulates, breaks, stretches, and reconstructs it with a script that takes a while to start, but when it does, it evolves into a painful (and wonderful) tour de force... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Germain Lussier io9.com An excellent film that uses a big, exciting idea to explore the nature of love, loss, depression, glee and so much more. It’s a very personal, very special film, and it’s one of VIgalando’s best. Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
