Keith Uhlich Hollywood Reporter Delpero shows a sure hand with her performers, especially Malale, a nonprofessional quite evidently drawing on her own experiences in a real-life hogar... Aug 10, 2019 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety A moving, lively study of conflicting duties and desires in a Buenos Aires hogar - a convent-based refuge for young single mothers - that marks an assured shift into narrative filmmaking for Italian docmaker Maura Delpero. Aug 10, 2019 Full Review Fausto Ponce Proceso Hogar is a good genre movie, and it pays for the time we were waiting for the conclusion. [Full Review in Spanish] Apr 28, 2020 Full Review Matt Cipolla The Spool [Delpero's] camera is still for what very well might be the entire film, yet she and editors Ilaria Fraioli and Luca Mattei establish a decent sense of place. Jan 17, 2020 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine The film builds a proper amount of suspense to really hammer through some of the questions that the religion itself raises. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Gaspar Zimerman Clarín The film presents a moral dilemma with sensitivity and economy of resources.
