The Hollywood Reporter

[Lucija Stojevic's] film really comes alive with the archive materials - the irresistible power of La Chana, even in black-and-white stills, palpably bursting from the screen. Brava!

Kate Taylor

Globe and Mail

Both archival footage of her remarkable flamenco and current interviews in which she speaks about rhythm entering the body reveal a natural artist who was born to dance.

Rated: 3/4

There's a performance that takes place at the end of the film, which needs to be seen rather than have useless words attributed to it.

Washington City Paper

Stojevic's intimate bond with her subject results in a film that teaches audiences about an art form they might not know about while also fully rendering a portrait of one of flamenco's most gifted practitioners.

Powerful movie; La Chana is as much a philosopher as she is a dancer. She is profound and obviously a central life force runs through her veins. She is a true inspiration. Anyone with a heart/soul/love of music/dance would love this movie and her story.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
