Eva is a strong-willed, restless 16-year-old girl who lives with her mother, her younger sister and their cat, but desperately wants to move in with her estranged father. Clinging onto him as he goes through a second adolescence, she balances between the tenderness and sensitivity of teenage life and the ruthlessness of the adult world. Bathed in a richly textured imagery and soaked in raw sensitivity, I HAVE ELECTRIC DREAMS captures the thin line between love and hate, in a world where aggression and rage intertwined with the vertigo of female sexual awakening.

I Have Electric Dreams contemplates who we are as human beings—our tendency towards rage and violence. It is also an engaging, if perverse, look at a father-daughter relationship. Go to Full Review Carlos Esquives Cinencuentro 08/22/2023

4 / 5
In her film, Valentina Maurel proposes deep reflections on family relationships, on looking at the horizon of adulthood approaching unceremoniously and how her body (and her sexuality) emerge during this process. Go to Full Review Pablo Vázquez Espinof 02/13/2023
4/5
The film avoids clichés and offers a harsh portrait of the middle class, showcasing a shrouded violence that contrasts with the magnetic poetry of its images and its uprooted protagonists. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Eulàlia Iglesias Fotogramas 02/02/2023
4/5
The director creates an atmosphere filled with incipient eroticism and undeniable discomfort, a setting of welcome complexity in which the ease of Daniela Marín Navarro shines at all times; her magnetism electrifies the screen. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel V 12/09/2024 A distant yet palpable warmth amidst economical and emotional turmoil. Disturbing scenes are never met with a moralist outcome, nore a nihilist one. We are all alone yet we blink eyes to eachother from the windows of our own intense-journey-car: the body. See more Read all reviews
