Michael Sicinski In Review Online The Permanent Picture is pleasant. It exemplifies restraint, avoids sentimentality, and even elicits a chuckle or two. But it does seem to be the product of an artist who, like Carmen, is still trying to find her own voice. Apr 11, 2024 Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) Ferrés creates a careful, very funny, and extremely sensitive reflection on the value of an image, on the meaning of normality, the strange place in which cinema stops portraying reality and begins to fable and wish for a world. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 20, 2023 Full Review Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) The search for the mysteries and authenticity of everyday life through the disfunction of natural performers hopelessly remains in an all-too-common place. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 20, 2023 Full Review Mariona Borrull Fotogramas But here lies the twist of modern expressionlessness: behind every twisted smile, there is a well of affection.
