He says that now he wants to return to his "real home" and his "real mother." [+]

	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Ruiz seems enchanted with his own coyness and the curlicues and indirections the story allows him"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A diverting, but frustrating and ultimately disappointing oddity (...) No believable emotions are displayed at any point"	NEG
United Kingdom	Patrick Peters Empire	"A celebration of feminine control and conniving with two fine performances, but Ruiz's use of symbolism might prove overbearing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
