Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter Fine performances by Lola Duenas and Ana Duenas as the mutually needy mother/daughter tandem largely redeem Celia Rico Clavellino's debut from its overwrought, over-careful air. Oct 30, 2018 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine An intimate film that successfully portrays the spaces and situations that sometimes can be difficult to talk about. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Gaspar Zimerman Clarín An introspective film that has the virtue of not resorting to heavy conflict to mark the complexity of mother-child relationships.[Full review in Spanish] Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Ruben Peralta Rigaud Cocalecas Director Celia Rico Clavellino takes her time to focus her story. Once she does, this becomes a nuanced and enjoyable study of mother-daughter relationships. [Full review in Spanish] May 30, 2019 Full Review Katy Moon One Room With A View A promising first feature for Celia Rico Clavellino, carried by two beautiful central performances. Rated: 4/5 Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Clavellino's approach is unsentimental and all the more believable for that. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Between 3 and 3.5 stars. A very simple and very well told story about love between a mother and a sister. It is a very tiny story, which does not tell much, and does in a very intimal, minimalistic way. Actress are wonderful: Lola Dueñas in a role which is perfect for her, and Anna Castillo is restrained (usually the opposite role she does, what has being fantastic in "El olivo" and was terrible in "La llamada) in a tone which was required by the movie. A good reflection about love, family, and probably the best movie I have seen about maternity. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Viaje al cuarto de una madre [2018] Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
