Reviews
- “‘City of my heart’ comes with our highest recommendations for its extraordinary capacity of visual lyricizing and the director’s proficient skill to turn emotions to screen”
The Monthly Film Festival
- “Everything regarding the visual spectrum was great, and we admit it: this may be one of the best experimental shorts we’ve had in the past couple of months”
Feel The Reel International Film Festival
- “The way the director managed to give random citizens enough space to show a side of their life in the city without ending up with a one-hour short shows pure skill, not only as a filmmaker, but as a storyteller as well”
Largo Film Awards
- “The short, though extremely minimalist, and experimental in form, is a well rounded narrative of poetry surrounding Madrid”
The Monkey Bread Tree Film Awards
- “This short film is very well achieved because it combines content and form very well, where nothing is left over or hindering, forming an indissoluble whole”
