Abbey Bender Village Voice 06/30/2017
The film is ultimately frustrating for the unending opacity of Paulina's psychology. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Worth seeing, even if its basic plot repeatedly stalls. It is a thoughtful movie, but not necessarily a fulfilling one. Go to Full Review
Ken Jaworowski New York Times 06/22/2017
As stinging as a slap in the face, "Paulina" feels as if it's waking you from a stupor, then shaking you, demanding that you ask yourself some impossible questions about idealism and justice. Go to Full Review

01/19/2019 Depressing, Disturbing. I'm Argentinian and love to watch Argentina's movies.. but Dolores Fonzi in my point of view was irritating, stupid. She tried to be a hero and it wasn't helpful with anyone. She was the victim.. but I couldn't feel sad for her, because her pride. Unrealistic and depressing... she hurts everybody who loves her.
