Wendy Ide Screen International This handsome, measured second feature from Germinal Roaux combines a portrait of a desperate migrant child with an interrogation of the crises of faith which result when devout Christians are asked to put the basic tenets of their religion into practice. Mar 1, 2018 Full Review José Martín El antepenúltimo mohicano A melancholy, minimal story... but feels as if it were the most exciting, authentic and powerful on screen. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jan 6, 2020 Full Review Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) The beautiful formatting doesn't camouflage the terrible story. [Full Review in Spanish] Jan 3, 2020 Full Review Fausto Fernandez Fotogramas Fortuna defines hope, or tries to, without being loud, pompous, or excessively melodramatic. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Jan 2, 2020 Full Review Rubén Romero Santos Cinemanía (Spain) Depicts the daily life of an Ethiopian girl... in a very painterly way. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2019 Full Review Shikhar Verma High on Films Fortuna is a demanding little film that doesn't really reveal itself tenfolds until the slow-burn becomes absolutely irrelevant. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
