Leave your thoughts about Mimosas.
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAt best ambiguous and at worst unfathomable, Mimosas, the sophomore feature from the Spanish director Oliver Laxe, merges harsh reality and offbeat mysticism into a reflection on the tug between our higher powers and baser instincts. |
| Cinemanía (Spain)Paula Arantzazu RuizNone of them have any idea where this journey will take them... but it is what happens during and not the final destination that should matter to us, especially if Mauro Herce is in charge of filming the process. [Full review in Spanish] |
| El Pais (Spain)Jordi CostaA film of imposing natural spaces and telluric faces of non-professional actors that fuses the mythical story and genre film with fantasy, western and adventure merging in strange harmony. [Full review in Spanish] |
| El Mundo (Spain)Luis MartínezOne of the most successful and brilliant films of the year. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeMauro Herce's cinematography is stunning and merges perfectly with the soundscape created by Emilio García Rivas. There is a strange enchantment woven here. If the film speaks to you at all, you can expect to fall under its spell. |
| SensacineCarlos LosillaOne of the most mysterious, and therefore beautiful, Spanish films of recent times. [Full review in Spanish] |

| CineVueBen NicholsonIt's a sparse and ravishing meditation on faith. |
| CineVueMatthew AndersonPerhaps this is the essence of Mimosas; that self-discovery comes through experience, through daring, through pushing through to see what lies behind. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob Thomas[Olive] Laxe favors long scenes, beautiful but slow-moving, of the caravan trudging through the immense landscape. When violence comes late in the film, the camera is so far away we can barely make out what is happening. |
