What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Bathed in the flamingo colors and Caribbean rhythms of its location, this deeply personal debut from the writer and director Mariette Monpierre develops with a lingering attention to sensation and sound.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
Heartfelt but clumsy.
Suffused with buoyant, sunlit sensuality, like its free-flying heroine, Elza confounds logic while seducing the senses.
