“[Sofía] balances comedy and sadness and strikes this balance with elegance and feeling. Sofia de Lara is lovely and engaging, the kind of face that, as the lawyer says to the actress in Smiles of a Summer Night, has the beauty that perfection itself lacks.”
– Gilberto Perez, author of The Material Ghost: Films and Their Medium
“Elise DuRant has a light touch as a storyteller; Sofía‘s charming and slightly elusive protagonist finds herself involved in a series of funny/sad/strange encounters that unfold naturally over the film’s short time-frame and begin to sketch the contours of a life. Sofía is an unaffected, evocative film that suggests good things to come.”
– Roger White, editor Paper Monument
