Jay Weissberg Variety 02/21/2019
True passion is absent, and even the extras appear unsure of themselves. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 02/14/2019
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter 02/14/2019
Reworks an early 20th century story into a plodding, protracted melodrama where provincial folk speak, behave and act like their 21st century counterparts. Go to Full Review Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut 11/02/2024
4/5
Elisa & Marcela manages to imprint the idea that making that one step to have a same-sex relationship during these times could be exciting yet socially horrifying at the same time. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 02/12/2024
A beautiful, lyrical, bittersweet film about two elders of the queer community who should be remembered for their bravery. Go to Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens 09/01/2021
2/5

Angie M Sep 5 This movie was beautiful, endearing and picture- perfect. An absolute must- watch for every sapphic woman 💕 See more PridePosterStudios 09/21/2023 Reviewing retrospectively…why do my notes say octopus sex 😶 See more Carmen V 08/28/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
