The Hollywood Reporter by Sheri Linden
With its fine mix of dark humor, healthy anger and self-compassion, this portrait of the artist as a young woman is the work of an inspired filmmaker, and it was worth the wait.

César and Teresa are a happy couple until one night she sleeps with Coque Malla, César's great idol since his adolescence. Teresa confesses it to César, repentant, but he doesn't know how to react. Is being unfaithful with your erotic myth excusable? Teresa has not slept with her idol, but with Caesar's. And there is no current legislation on that. César needs to talk to Coque, even though the singer no longer lives in Spain. So the couple travels to Miami in search of him, while they rethink their 15-year relationship and their own lives.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The New York Times by Natalia Winkelman
The result evokes an adult puppet show crossed with a graphic novel, and like the budding female identity the film untangles, the whole thing takes a little time getting used to. Once you do, it is remarkably beautiful.

With My Love Affair with Marriage, animator Signe Baumane creates another dense personal narrative that expresses complicated concepts and ideas in images.
Screen Daily by Wendy Ide
The entertaining blend of quirky absurdism and behavioural neuroscience echoes Baumane’s approach to her family’s history of depression in her previous film. It’s a successful and distinctive formula, albeit one which falters slightly at the film’s uncertain conclusion.
Film Threat by Liam Trump
It’s mostly light-hearted, and sadly the tone can sometimes conflict with the deeper themes the film is trying to get across. But still, this animated movie makes up for any shortcomings with its overall style and atmosphere.
