Guardian

González gets the tonal mix about right and this film suggests she'll be a name to watch out for in the future.

Rated: 4/5

Screen International

It's an engaging but rather slight story, given heft by a sensual central performance from Peruvian actress Magali Solier and sparkle by the fantasy musical sequences which are threaded into the fabric of the picture.

Cinencuentro

Disenfranchises itself from the habitual representation of immigrants that's seen in contemporary Latin American cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

Cinencuentro

A very good drama with interesting musical touches, which feels different from what is usually produced in Peru and in Latin America in general. [Full review in Spanish]

All the parts are here for a great film, yet they never come together in a satisfying way.

La Nación (Argentina)

The film unequivocally but subtly presents the economic and social inequalities suffered by Lina... but without making her the victim or the hero. [Full Review in Spanish]
