REVIEWS
"A escolha pela não revolta, a recusa da saída do armário, é presente na vida de muitas lésbicas e gays, seja qual for a razão. “Elena” nos mostra com delicadeza essa alternativa."
“It has a fresh a quality which promises more from this young director from the Dominican Republic. Having started out as an actress she is now taking her turn behind the camera...”
“Una propuesta seductora y tierna, que sin ser panfletaria, trata algunos temas tabúes, no solo de la sociedad costarricense, sino del mundo LGBT en general.”
“...describes with sensibility and gentleness the discovering of one’s true self and love through the appropriation of body expressiveness. ”
