Rosa discovers life holds many surprises for her.

Jay Weissberg

Variety

Lead actress Ribeiro ensures that Rosa is a figure anyone can identify with, her struggle for self-realization as pertinent today as it was in Clarice's generation.

Wendy Ide

Screen International

Laus Bodansky's portrait of a woman forced to confront her stale marriage and professional disappointment approaches familiar territory with a light touch.

The Hollywood Reporter

Though the film is sometimes a bit too on the nose in terms of its references, this is nonetheless an impressive work, further elevated by a finely chiseled performance from actress Maria Ribeiro.

A masterpiece about contemporary feminism. About the void of the individuals in our times. The void of Rosa. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 4/5

El Mundo (Spain)

The filmmaker Laís Bodanzky proposes a timely feminist reflection... supported by the great work of a cast headed by Maria Ribeiro and an appreciable balance between the intensity of the sequences and the beauty of the images. [full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

Hernán Touzón

El antepenúltimo mohicano

In an intelligent way, the Brazilian director Laís Bodanzky focuses her attention, exclusively, on the family microcosm, in an attempt to highlight the challenges and difficulties that Rosa must overcome in the day to day. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 4/5

Poor dialogue, full of clichê. and many times, the characters motivations were inconsistent with their actions

É realmente mais um daqueles filmes que abordam questões interessantes de forma desinteressante. O elenco está ótimo. O roteiro é que é fraquinho mesmo. Valeu muito pelo debate que veio depois (o pessoal do Reserva até queria ter terminado antes, mas público, atriz e diretora não deixaram) e pelas falas sempre interessantes da Maria Ribeiro.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
