Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA well-acted and well-directed musical biodrama about the life and career of the Chilean singer and songwriter Viola Parra.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by Ben SachsThe formulaic storytelling has the unfortunate effect of making her extraordinary story feel familiar, though Wood's impressionistic style is a refreshing antidote to the portentousness one comes to expect from movies like this.
New York Post - 6/10 by Farran Smith NehmeThe biographical bits soon feel like a distraction from the music, performed by Gavilán. It’s heard often, but not often enough. Judging by the movie, Parra’s songs are fiery and haunting, sometimes sensuous, sometimes bleak. When Parra sings, the movie becomes worthwhile.
New York Times - 6/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisMr. Wood has created a poignant portrait of an artist unable to escape the stamp of her class or the burdens of aging.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Simon AbramsBy inexpertly filtering her art through her travails, Wood and Altunaga reimagine Parra's suicide as an explicable conclusion to her turbulent life.
What Culture - 6/10 by Shaun MunroMore enjoyable as an exploration of Parra's music than her life, and well-performed by lead Francisca Gavilán.
Slant Magazine - 5/10 by Diego SemereneSuffers from an overtly conventional way of depicting the life events of an anything-but-conventional woman, a lazy flaw further highlighted by its brief moments of visual experimentation.
User Review - 10/10 by Erika MAunque muchos consideraron esta película como un retrato nefasto de Violeta, me pareció una representación muy justa de quien fue Violeta. Las escenas de la película están llenas de simbolismos ricos que permiten muchas interpretaciones sobre la vida emocional de la artista y de su valentía de vivir y sentir hasta las más profundas consecuencias. Me encanto ver cuan fecunda era Violeta, la vastedad de su capacidad creadora, y me gustó aún más que retrataran con igual ímpetu tanto su algarabía como su profundo dolor, aunque no sea placentero presenciarlo. De camino a tocar con su hermana en el desierto, Violeta ensayaba una canción melancólica, cuando su hermana le pide que toque algo más alegre, que la gente no quiere escuchar esas melodías tan lúgubres, a lo cual Violeta responde "Que las escuchen no más, que la vida no es una fiesta".
User Review - 10/10 by Raphael GAn extraordinary film about an extraordinary artist. Her music is beautiful, and I am grateful to those who made this film because Violeta's is a story that needed to be told! Bravo!
User Review - 8/10 by Laurie TVioleta, an early compiler and performer of traditional Chilean folk music, is played by an actress and singer who convincingly channels her rebellious spirit.
