The film is ultimately frustrating for the unending opacity of Paulina's psychology.

Worth seeing, even if its basic plot repeatedly stalls. It is a thoughtful movie, but not necessarily a fulfilling one.

Rated: 2.5/4

New York Times

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.

Paulina, the character of Dolores Fonzi, deserves the attention and not the judgment of the viewer. [Full review in Spanish]

Eye for Film

Fonzi's performance is perfectly judged; she knows when to hold back, convincing us of her character's sanity, and yet we never lose sight of her strength, of her power.

Rated: 4/5

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.
