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.

Frank J. Avella

Awards Daily

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.

Rated: B-

Jorge Arturo Mora

La Nación (Costa Rica)

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.

Rated: 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]

Rated: 4/5

Fotogramas

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]
