Janet Maslin New York Times Mar 13, 2015
Whenever the film wanders away from Gabriela, it seems to dawdle aimlessly before finding her again. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert RogerEbert.com Mar 13, 2015
2/4
There is no real chemistry between the bar owner and his wonderful lover, [so] even the most dedicated filmgoer is eventually reduced to waiting for what we used to call the good parts. Go to Full Review
Bob Baker Time Out Mar 13, 2015

Molly Haskell Vogue Feb 26, 2020

Diego Galán El Pais (Spain) Feb 18, 2020
A fun comedy that outlines a profile of Brazilian society in 1925. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
David Parkinson Radio Times Mar 13, 2015
2/5
