Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

many things i love about this movie including its aim;the idea of''family first''
the idea that had made father leave his love and forgive his unfaithful wife ,the jealousy of a mother sacrificing her life to her daughter.
the facing between paz and her daughter @the bus station and the moment in the restaurant are my favorites in this movie. -
