Michael Glover Smith Chicago Reader This is competently made but inconsequential; the period sets and costumes are ultimately more convincing than the characters inhabiting them. Feb 18, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member An Argentinian film that might as well have been a silent film. Not a lot happens. The main actress really shows how insecure her character is without really saying anything, and it's truly remarkably saddening. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Desde sus primeros dias, el rechazo -tanto propio como ajeno- son la tona de la protagonista de esta pelicula. De aspecto gracioso, diferente, no encaja en una Argentina de principios de siglo XX, pero aun asi se casa por obligacion. Su interior se explora a traves de hermosas secuencias de animacion, muy al contrario de su constante reticencia a ser fotografiada en las formaciones familiares. Una imagineria diferente y un retrato original de esa joven Argentina resaltan en esta interesante pelicula. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
