Director Daniel Sanchez Arevalo would have done well leaving a few subplots on the cutting-room floor. Quality almost always is better than quantity.

Bifurcated images, isolating the characters from their dreams and from one another, create a yearning atmosphere that pulls you in; like their director, you really want them to escape.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten
Tells [a] ludicrously compact, aggressively 'heartfelt,' colorfully contrived story.
Nathan Lee, Village Voice

What could have seemed insufferably self-pitying becomes strangely moving instead -- a sign of a filmmaker placing his absolute trust in their material and coming up all the stronger for it.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

Writer/director Aravalo and a fine cast tell the story with great charm.
