Jay Weissberg Variety May 18
“Viva” is constrained by just how predictable so many of the characterizations are. The final shot, meant to feel liberating and, yes, Alive!, is so easy and pat that it intensifies certain niggling dissatisfactions popping up throughout the running time.

Nothing ever happens as expected, and that's a good approach, but it's another matter entirely whether those surprises are brilliant enough to completely smooth over the occasional moment that borders on the outlandish.

A surprising, unclassifiable, noisy and dazzling (all at once) all-or-nothing gamble without a safety net or any sense of self-preservation. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Randy Meeks Espinof Jun 22
2/5
Ultimately, the result is a script that doesn't quite balance comedy and drama, and while it has some hilarious moments and genuinely heartfelt scenes, it sadly clashes with a frigid atmosphere...[Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Philipp Engel Cinemanía (Spain) Jun 18

Aina Clotet dares to take on a dramedy about cancer in which she breaks taboos and, moreover, gives her all in her performance. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Juan Luis Caviaro Espinof May 26
2/5
...Aina Clotet aims to capture, with a degree of realism and raw honesty, the consequences of trauma... However, 'Viva' remains superficial in everything it present. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
