Yasser Medina

Its melodrama builds futilely and proceeds at a lethargic pace that detracts from platitudes about obsession, miracles, and blind love. [Full review in Spanish]

It's a long film, slow In tempo, but is beautifully directed, acted and photographed.

Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)

The wonder of this picture is how the women will weep. And weep. Otherwise it's as smooth as that superb butler, Arthur Treacher, who is in the cast.
