Critic Quotes:
“Led by a feral performance from dancer Wendy Chinchilla Araya, the drama occupies its own territory, tinged with magical realism and deeply immersed in the sensory world.” – Hollywood Reporter
“Clara Sola mixes religion, mysticism and sexuality in a way that feels simultaneously odd, disquieting and richly rewarding.” – TheWrap
“A defiant challenge to prejudice and repression.” – Screen International
