Reviews from Letterboxd

1. Maturano — ★★★★
   “Me parece bien bonito que Sara en sus memorias hable de como veía a Ingrid Bergman en pantalla y aspiraba a ser como ella y terminará haciendo un remake de un clásico de la sueca, pero al estilo Sara Montiel.”
2. La Caneli™️🦩 — ★★★½
   “Simpático rip off de Casablanca con guion de De la Loma en el que Sara brilla tanto en sus actuaciones, algunas bastante memorables.”
3. Manu — ★★★
   “No me he enterado muy bien de la trama entre videoclip y videoclip de Sara, solo puedo decir que ‘the bob is bobbing’.”
4. LordLosbter — ★★
   “The opening sequence sold me dreams, I was expecting more after that, but the story is so dull.”
5. Baboune — ½★
   “Kitschissime ! J’ai tenu 10 minutes !”
