Critics Consensus
While it may be visually attractive, Elisa & Marcela is an underwhelming melodrama that lacks passion and energy.

Jay Weissberg
Variety
True passion is absent, and even the extras appear unsure of themselves.

Peter Bradshaw
Guardian
The film is idealistically conceived in setting out to retell a story that had been erased from the history of sexuality. The energy and flair was, however, missing.
Rated: 2/5

Clarence Tsui
Hollywood Reporter
Reworks an early 20th century story into a plodding, protracted melodrama where provincial folk speak, behave and act like their 21st century counterparts.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)
A beautiful, lyrical, bittersweet film about two elders of the queer community who should be remembered for their bravery.

It looks stunning, but the boring script doesn't lend itself to a great Romance movie.
Rated: 2/5

Carmen V
From the start, I knew this movie would have an impact on me. I cried many times throughout this movie, the cinematography is one of my favorite things about this movie. I went through all the emotions while watching this movie from happiness, from butterflies in my stomach, & anger. Times are very much different today but also not. same sex marriage may be legal in some parts of the world now but in some parts you are punished for being who you are, for simply loving. This film will remain in a special place in my heart always.
