Audience Member A gritty human-interest drama that takes a peek into the struggles of a lost lady who'd fallen off the path to literacy as a child, and shows with punctuated baby-steps the tortuous journey, through the persistent kindness of a former friend's daughter, in finally getting there. The inconclusive ending leaves room for discussion. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Una de las nuevas películas del cine chileno que viene a romper con la monotonía antigua. En pocos minutos (sólo 73), la opera primera de Moisés Sepúlveda nos convence con una historia humana entre Paulina García (que todos conocen por Gloria) y Valentina Muhr, dónde la segunda deberá enseñarle a leer a la primera a sus 50 años. Grandes críticas al modelo educacional, a la disparidad de niveles educativos, y en especial, a la democracia chilena. Muy recomendable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I've not given too much thought to the world of illiterates, and this was my first foray into one, albeit fictitious. i wished they did a better job with the subtitles because much of the conversation was poorly translated in English.
