Rey M Jan 27, 2019 Documental hermoso, bien hecho, sencillo, a lo que va. La vida del "Señora", de Chavela, la lesbiana alcohólica que cambió la vida de tantas personas y que abrió la senda para muchas que venían detrás de ella. Amante de Frida, amante del tequila, amiga de la noche y la bohemia, de Jose Alfredo Jimenez, de Gabo, de Monsivais, de Fuentes, de Picasso, de Almodóvar, de Bosï¿ 1/2 1/2 (C), de todos. A sus 60 resucita, libre de los demonios del alcohol y termina de conquistar las emociones de millones de hispanoparlantes. A los 80 se lanza en paracaídas, como un símbolo de lo que fue su vida y termina a los 93 como una reina en el DF, la ciudad que la hizo, como ella decía, una macha remacha. See more

Luke S Feb 14, 2018 This documentary highlights the life of Chavela Vargas, who became a sensation in Mexico in the fifties. She was a proud woman lesbian and her story is told with care. See more

Han R Oct 11, 2017 While poignant and heart-wrenching bio, it is a veritable treasure trove of "la canción mexicana".... (the music of Mexico).

Hermione S Oct 7, 2017 I hadn't heard of Chavela before seeing this film, but afterwards I felt like a lifelong fan. The filmmakers pay a phenomenal tribute to to an under appreciated legend who was WAY ahead of her time. A must see! See more

Theodore S Jul 20, 2017 Filled with music and dynamic energy, the riveting Chavela dives deeply and skillfully into the complicated life of the legendary Mexican lesbian singer Chavela Vargas. The film's production quality is outstanding, making it a joy to watch from first frame to last, especially in the perfectly selected archival footage so expertly edited by Carla Gutierrez. See more
