	Author	Review
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] builds emotional involvement by infinitesimal degrees through its acute observation of characters and social context (...) There are quiet rewards here for the patient viewer."	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"A finely-crafted, beautifully realized debut that exquisitely balances character study with shrewd commentary on class, desire, and the lingering privileges of Paraguay’s elite."	POS
United States	J.R. Kinnard Seattle Times	"Beautiful storytelling that imperceptibly builds toward painful yet life-affirming truths (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Excellent (...) Superbly played by Paraguayan stage actors Ana Brun and Margarita Irun (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"There is much to admire for those who chime with the languid rhythms and language of loaded sidelong glances."	POS
	Bénédicte Prot Cineuropa	"[It] is somewhat stifled by its own form (...) It is difficult for the viewer to be moved"	NEG
