- Cine PremiereMabel Salinas
An adaptation without ambition and fairly, it's the reason it works.
Read - New York TimesBen Kenigsberg
The movie is erratic, jumpy (thanks to a needlessly affected editing style) and not entirely in control of its message.
Read - VarietyNick Schager
A romantic drama that goes heavy on the cacophonous commotion and light on the romance or drama.
