Notable Quotes

❝ The director (Tom McCarty), unknown to me, shows great talent in knowing how to tell an intense,contemporary and dramatic story with delightful humorous interludes that nevertheless do not spoil the prevailing bittersweet flavor that will accompany us when, once the credits have rolled, we get up from our seats.
❝ Over two very demanding hours: the writing is truly excellent and manages to explain the entire complexity of the story.
