Nonureva Really Surprised!

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Ram Lee I am an admirer of Sosa's for more than 20 years and her music still appeals a lot. This documentary unfortunately was quite chaotic. It jumps back and forth through the decades. I also had difficulty sometimes following what was said because there were quick switches between voice-overs of her son and Mercedes herself. For me the style of presenting the material was also too sentimental. Mercedes Sosa has made lots of great and strong songs; I only heard/saw a couple of them in this movie: the music in the documentary seems disproportionately focused on the rather slow songs. It would have helped me if there was a (neutral) narrator treating Sosa's career and life in a more organised way, and I think it would also have helped if there was a neutral interviewer, instead of showing her own son meeting all kinds of people and interviewing them himself. The movie makes it easily clear, though, that Sosa has a great voice and that her heart was with the people. Probably most Sosa-fans will enjoy watching this movie, but for me it was quite disappointing. Her music remains great.
