Argentine singer Mercedes Sosa embarks on a successful career that lasts 60 years.

Jay Weissberg

Variety

An enjoyable if standard bio-docu that gives equal weight to Mercedes Sosa's voice, life and politics.

Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

Suffers from its overly insular and hagiographic perspective, but in its best moments it well illustrates the reasons for her musical influence and social importance.

New York Times

The lack of background information and connective tissue makes the film feel incomplete.

Amber Wilkinson

Eye for Film

But if a certain sentimentality means that there is a little too much included, the film also benefits from the obvious emotion that the contributors all pour into it.

Rated: 3/5

Noah Berlatsky

The Dissolve

[T]he documentary succeeds in conveying not just the bare facts of her life, but something of her magic, both to longtime fans and to those less familiar with her work.

Rated: 3.5/5
