4/5
González gets the tonal mix about right and this film suggests she'll be a name to watch out for in the future. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Screen International 09/06/2019
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. Go to Full Review
