A charming dramatic comedy where its cast of actresses stands out, managing to create a set of characters that awakens mixed feelings and emotions, making them more three-dimensional and therefore more real. The period reconstruction and the soundtrack are also points to be highlighted.

Art and freedom

This movie uses art as a means of sending a liberating message to the young women that in the future will build society. A movie that, more than about art, it is about personal growth.

Against prejudices

In addition to having a perfect plot and interesting characters, this is a story against insecurities and conformism that women in our society are usually pushed into.

Es una gran película, y nos deja una enseñanza tanto en lo académico y en lo humano

Ou você vai adorar ou não.

O filme é sensível e toca em mudanças que um professor pode operar na vida de um aprendiz. É um daqueles filmes que fazem vibrar quando a professora bem interpretada por Julia Roberts coloca algumas alunas arrogantes em seu devido lugar.

Arte y libertad

Esta película utiliza el arte para enviar un mensaje liberador a las jóvenes que en el futuro construirán nuestra sociedad. Una gran película que, más que sobre arte, es sobre crecimiento personal.
