Comedy. Drama Eva, Kat’s and Roger have been friends since their student years back in Barcelona. Now separated, they all look back with nostalgia at the little family they created.

United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"While 'Anchor and Hope' isn’t subtle in its approach, it is nuanced in its emotional and naturalistic in its look and feel."	NEU
United States	Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle	"Carlos Marques-Marcet transcends most of the trappings of cliche (...) What makes 'Anchor' rise above (no pun intended) are the performances by the leads."	POS
United States	Ally Johnson The Playlist	"Rather than indulging in easy answers or romantic seductions and betrayals, the film goes the slice-of-life route (...) 'Anchor and Hope' is tremendously aided by three fine performances"	POS
	Alfonso Rivera Cineuropa	"The actors constantly exude a chemistry that is essential to the plot"	POS
