Andrea Zamora Sensacine Valéria Sorolla plays Laura, conveying her shyness, introversion, and forlorn nature without breaking a sweat. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 19, 2023 Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof ... A magnificent coming-of-age that subtly and sensibly portrays the protagonist's maturing process, touching upon society's taboos. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Dec 19, 2022 Full Review Pablo Vázquez Fotogramas A beautiful act of artistic terrorism, as virtuous and warm as it is absurdly human. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/5 Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Jonathan Holland Screen International Deserves top marks for daring, is undoubtedly crafted with care and, despite its austerity, is Franco’s most accessible work to date.
