Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) The image is a luxury. And although its narrative is dispersed too much... its poetic treatment of the social issue and its search for freedom make Sultana's Dream an undeniable anomaly. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Sultana's Dream's dense philosophical backbone proves quite meandering in places but even if not every abstract idea hits the target, the animation is always on point. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 26, 2023 Full Review Carlos F. Heredero Caimán Cuadernos de Cine A very beautiful, complex, and dazzling work of animation. [Full review in Spanish] Sep 30, 2023 Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) Isabel Herguera turns her debut feature film into a beautiful canvas of textures, colors, and animated dreams that transcends the limits of the screen. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Jonathan Holland Screen International What really stands out is not the story but the involving, enchanting manner of its telling.
