“A film about loss, about gaps and silences, about the scars left by conflict. Erice’s film offers a devastating portrait of a country grieving, without ever mentioning the Civil War directly. A film about the cinema, about the monsters we create and the power of cinema to animate and challenge.” Maria Delgado
“Unfolds like a waking dream, hushed and febrile and haunted by personal memory and national historical baggage.” Guy Lodge
“One of the finest meditations there is on the strange and wondrous nature of both childhood and cinema.” Rielle Navitski
