Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times Mar 22, 2018
Its episodic nature and refusal to clarify who, what or when means that it lacks a cohesive, coherent narrative, with Regina's songs serving as the only connective tissue. Go to Full Review
Alberto Bermejo El Mundo (Spain) Dec 28, 2018
2/5
A charismatic character that the film trivializes in the conventions of a biopic and a visual and dramatic treatment that navigates between the torn soap opera and the superficial telefilm. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Jordi Costa El Pais (Spain) Dec 28, 2018
Prata endows his images with the convincing texture of a journey through time, but the story is content to be a didactic synthesis of a complex trajectory. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Sergio F. Pinilla Cinemanía (Spain) Dec 28, 2018
3/5

2/5
