Vera lives in the shadow of her famous father. Tired of her superficial life and relationships, she drifts through Roman high society. When she injures a child in a traffic accident in the suburbs, she forms an intense relationship with an eight-year-old boy and his father. But soon she must realize that also in this world she is only an instrument for others.

That this compelling film somehow manages to feel hopeful is a minor miracle of careful artistry.

Awards Daily

Vera Gemma, playing a version of herself, is at first off-putting but quickly becomes an endearing and sympathetic figure...The film is a hypnotic hybrid about survival in a world that values money and celebrity above all else.

Rated: B+

While Covi and Frimmel's film could have easily made a mockery of Vera Gemma, the directors instead explore hard, ineluctable truths about social isolation and personal risk.

La Jornada

Vera Gemma possesses a vulnerability and a prolonged adolescent grace that makes her akin to the picturesque and fragile character played by Giulietta Massina in The Nights of Cabiria (Fellini, 1957). [Full review in Spanish]

Vera has more genuine, credible, sincere, honest, and affectionate moments than disingenuous or underhanded ones. [Full review in Spanish]

La Nación (Argentina)

... A story filled with intrigue and surprises, an adventure that transcends its titular character that speaks about film and fame, of fathers and daughters. [Full review in Spanish]
