Globe and Mail

It is a charming, uplifting documentary, as effective a tonic as a sunny horoscope forecast.

The film is a fond farewell to Mercado and a celebration of his life, and enlightening both for Mercado newbies and those who grew up at his proverbial knee.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

One of those documentaries where its style beautifully matches the opulence of its subject.

For almost everyone in Latin-America, Walter Mercado was a preponderant, present, mysterious and commented figure. A man that lived for hope, love and peace through astrology. An eternal legend. Impressive documentary. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 8/10

Mucho Mucho Amor celebrates Mercados unapologetic authenticity and the greatest love of his life: his audience. Less a psychic than a life coach and motivational speaker, we confess, weve fallen for him too.

Rated: 3.5/4

The entertainment industry has lost their way. The minute you start glorifying someone's mental illness like this movie does with this werid man, your industry will collapse. Talking to the people who are decent and normal here, don't watch this. I couldn't even finish it. Brazil is a very spiritually sick Nation if this is what counts as entertainment. I'll be blunt, this guy is nothing to celebrate. He belonged in therapy.

Portraying a queer legend of astronomy who i hadn't approached to, the directors put a marker on what this world needs, a message of peace, hope and much, much love.

Obsessed. Always valued Walter as a cultural phenom in my native PR but this documentary provides a rich and balanced tapestry of his life, gifts and work, as well as the challenges he overcame. I love his nieces and Willie, they're my faves and I really hope they keep going! They're amazing!

A very beautiful film that covers the extraordinary life of Walter Mercado. This biographical retelling not only tells Walter's life but captures his magic & essence quite well. This film does what it intended to do and then some. You'll feel so much richer after learning about his life. 5/5. A true homage to one of Latin America's greatest television personalities.
