Gossamer thin in the plotting but playful and gorgeous to look at, it’s a warm message of midlife liberation. Read full review

The New York TimesTeo BugbeeSep 22, 2022
Writer and director Valerie Buhagiar makes the wise decision to orient her film toward what’s pleasurable rather than what’s logical. The Maltese countryside sparkles in the sunlight, and McElhone delights with a charming and slightly loopy performance as the irreverent spiritual leader. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreSep 19, 2022
McElhone mopes in the early scenes and shimmers through the later ones, even as she suffers. “Carmen” becomes a veritable Maltese fashion shoot at times. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesNoel MurraySep 23, 2022
