Warms the heart through the perseverance of love. Chills the spirit through displaying the weight that comes with a dictatorship regime.
There isn’t an award or accolade that can properly recognize the performance of Fernanda Torres in this film.
Noticeably missing Paul King’s direction as the story felt a bit aimless until the final act.
