Sep 9, 2023 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Beneath this tale of a high school outsider, the film asks philosophical questions... Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Carlos Marañón Cinemanía (Spain) Fien Troch brings to the screen the story of a teenager who suffers from both bullying and a strange admiration by those who believe in her extraordinary ability to generate positive energy in people. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily A curious, clever film, "Holly" is "Carrie" seen from the other side of the mirror, those magic hands by her sides, looking at her own image and wondering who she is. Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Jeff York The Establishing Shot The film is one exceedingly thoughtful and sincere meditation on God and spiritualism, as well as a subtly evocative coming-of-age story.
