Palomero’s script has a delicate intimacy in regards to its characters and the hardships they are faced with.

Palomero renders a portrait so relatable and true that you can't blame the protagonist for her rebellion. [Full review in Spanish]

The film presents an array of recognizable characters that, however, have been seldom represented in Spanish cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

Nothing in Palermo’s film is sugar-coated, although a sweetness runs through it.

It's simply highlighting one particular type of maternal experience, and it does it without pessimism or a sense that it's jabbing at some societal alarm

5/5

With facial gestures, Carla Quílez conveys her thoughts, rage, happiness, surprise, and bewilderment at her situation. We see her mature without ceasing to be a girl. [Full review in Spanish]

Pilar nos pone sobre la mesa una realidad que ni me había planteado, ni mucho menos conocía. Consigue que acompañes a cada una de las chicas y a la protagonista por su paso por La Maternal. No romantiza sus historias, te las cuenta como son, pero con la delicadeza de Palomero. El cast impecable. Una historia que te remueve por dentro.
