Dennis Harvey 48 Hills While frequently decked out in the colorful neon of a city at night, this is a relentless dive into the gutter, with discomfiting scenes of strung-out kids, predatory adults, and battering parents. Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

yack k i remember watching this when i was little i say about 9 years oldd and i never watched shows just played with whatever was around me but when i first saw the show it hooked me onn and it turned to a routine i would know the time it started and the time it ended the show was just soo fire in different ways it got a 9 years olds attention and til this day i hope they make more seasons because the first was just the bestt ‼️and im not from a spanish speaking country im from chicago so just imagine how entertaining this show could be you should give it a try even if its worth buying because its worth every penny for me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Audience Member Película descriptora de la difícil realidad social de los niños en las comunas de Medellín, con un ambiente realista cercano al documental suplido por los actores naturales, la vendedora de rosas es una historia sin recato que mezcla problemáticas como la drogadicción y el trabajo infantil, la informalidad y la criminalidad tan propios de esta época histórica en la capital antioqueña, y porque no un poco de las ilusiones infantiles de estos niños tan maltratados por esta realidad social, quienes aún así conservan un pequeño ápice de inocencia en medio de sus alucinaciones psicotrópicas. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member must watch great concept and Lady is fabulous Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member debo admitir que no la entendí muy bien, pero espero verla algún día con una mayor comprencion de su trama y significado, los cuales ya me atraen Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Astonishing, breathtaking and dramatic, The Rose seller takes a deeper look in the human condition of people who lives between poberty, violence and drugs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Socially complex and morally engaging, La Vendedora de Rosas transcends its difficult and controversial theme with the sensitive direction from Victor Gaviria and terrific performances from its natural cast.
