The life of a young woman is followed from conception through the years when she strikes out on her own as a young adult.

Phil Hoad

Guardian

The constant wash of visual beauty is entirely apt for a life and times in alarming motion, but always regulated by love.

Rated: 4/5

Deborah Young

Hollywood Reporter

This light reflection on growing up in a close-knit family of three sisters has a sensibility earmarked for teenagers, and should particularly connect to girls.

Wendy Ide

Screen International

Appealingly intricate animation is the main selling point of this coming-of-age story which captures, perhaps a little too authentically, the self absorption of adolescence.

Ernesto Diezmartinez

Cine Vértigo

"A remarkable animated film that, without neglecting its very specific cultural specificity ends up becoming an emotive universal story of growth, maturation and feminine self-knowledge".

Rated: 2/4

Cinegarage

The film has many more errors than hits and does not achieve a solid and coherent discourse, on the contrary, according to what you will see here, the film is shaky and uninteresting. [Full Review in Spanish]

Cine Premiere

This adaptation to the cinema of the graphic novel of Power Paola fulfills in its form, although perhaps its proposal of content is not for all the tastes. [Full Review in Spanish]

The black and white drawings are very good, and do vivid... it's a shame that the story lacks focus.

Preciosa animación, buena música, historia mas o menos bien y unas voces trágicas. Es una lástima que aun estemos tan lejos de tener voces decentes para este tipo de películas, arruinan la obra y la ridiculizan un poco. Historia autobiográfica de Power Paola, sencilla pero muy bien presentada y muy bien tratada en el guion. Algo muy digno de ver y una propuesta a la que de seguro le irá muy bien.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
