A movie to cuddle, hold close, and heal with. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com 6d
So much of "La Perra" is so patient and trusting of the audience that its later reach for low-hanging melodramatic fruit is frustrating. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety May 20
La Perra’s impact is quiet and cumulative, but it lingers. It’s not a film of clear-cut revelations and changes of heart, but its understanding and appreciation of female solitude is honest and delicately nuanced Go to Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez InSession Film 2d

Beneath the sorrow, Sotomayor finds tenderness in the act of confronting the wounds of the past rather than escaping them. Go to Full Review Matthew Turner Next Best Picture 2d
8/10
Manuela Oyarzun is excellent as Silvia, delivering a remarkable performance as a woman who has kept her emotions locked away for three decades. Her canine co-star (also called Yuri) is equally good Go to Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net 4d
6.5/10
The whole grief plot device doesn't really add anything to make the character or the story more interesting, distracting from the beauty of where she lives and works. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
