“Among the 20 best films of 2019”
Fotogramas
“A refreshing expression of womanhood; an ode to loss; a celebration of friendship, will, and vulnerability; a reclaiming of hope and passion; and a piercingly honest cinematic dialogue are all embodied in this magical, original, and risk-taking cinematic endeavor. “
IDFA Awards
“a touching story about friendship, affection, homesickness and the characters’ lifelong love of filmmaking.”
Cineuropa
