"To Santiago Mitre, politics is the religion of our age, and therefore its Paulina (a stony Dolores Fonzi) continues to take little understandable decisions (...)."

Political idealisms, militancy, appearances, adapting or not to the rules, the position of a father before his daughter, the need for justice, revanchismo, power and solidarity, everything is conjugated in the film.

The film credits Santiago Miter as a fierce provocateur agent of a political cinema. [...] It could be disputed with Pablo Larraín's 'The Club', or Nadav Lapid's 'The Kindergarden Teacher', the distinction of the most (intelligently) provocative film of the year.

The director turns into an exciting political film, of deep and complex ethical reflection, an intrigue that a priori promised to illustrate a simple event.

"Driven by a powerful and internalized performance by the main character Dolores Fonzi, Paulina avoids direct answers favoring thought-provoking questions."

'Paulina' would not be such an inspirational film if the face of Dolores Fonzi, its protagonist, was not always on screen. Her recreation of the character is portentous.

The intense interpretation of Dolores Fonzi transcends the militant and pedagogical character of the script.

Miter explodes like a good political filmmaker, as if 'Paulina' were a derivation from the Argentine reality of what the Dardenne brothers put in 'Two Days, One Night'.

"The strong performance of Dolores Fonzi, a heroine whose actions frustrate everyone around her, helps sustain the conversation which starts even if the perception of the spectators may vary - something that is clearly designed."
