Drama. Musical "La flor" is broken into six separate episodes, connected only by an on-screen appearance by Llinás explaining the film's structure. The first four episodes have the beginning of a story but finish in medias res. The fifth episode is the only one to proceed from start to end, and the last episode has just the conclusion of a story.

	Author	Review
United States	Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"Some petals are admittedly prettier or more fragrant than others (and the film has serious stem problems), but there’s forbidding beauty in the sheer ambition itself."	POS
United States	Michael Nordine The Wrap	"Llinás’ consistency (to say nothing of that of his four main actresses, whose effort is truly herculean) is hugely impressive (...) Everything about 'La Flor' (...) is a marvel."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'La Flor' is perhaps more fun to think about than to sit through, though there are some exquisitely beautiful sequences"	NEU
United States	Leonardo Goi The Film Stage	"Its audacious narrative does mark a pioneering jump into an uncharted territory."	POS
United States	Keith Uhlich Slant	"[Its] meta self-awareness could easily be insufferable, yet Llinás never loses his sense of playfulness and fun (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
