Fernando Brenner EscribiendoCine Macipe has realized a miraculous work, without parallel or precedent. A biography of a musician different from what we have seen until now. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 9/10 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Alejandro Lingenti La Nación (Argentina) This fiction opportunely intersects with the documentary to highlight the emotional community that existed between the Spanish musician and his warm santiagueños hosts... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Nonetheless, the narrative takes some risks and the beautiful musical live moments result in a quite pleasant, even intense, and fascinating experience. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/4 Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Randy Meeks Espinof It is a true marvel and the type of movie that should be supported. The kind that walks on the sidelines, speaks from the heart, helps us discover parts of ourselves that we didn't know... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Laura Pérez Fotogramas It is inevitable to think of 'Searching for Sugar Man' (2012), but... in this one, there is a skillful game on the part of the director to provoke the story, with shifts in the point of view or breaks in time and space. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) Macipe's film is built like a braid in which fiction passes through document and document through fiction, creating a path in which cinema and life will meet in the end.

Roberto N The story is so well-structured. The pace is very good, never slowing down too much, even in the longer conversation scenes. The acting, especially that of Pepe Lorente is very convincing, so realistic. I loved it.
