Le Petit Septième

“…une œuvre tout aussi déchirante que magnifique”

“a work that is as heartbreaking as it is magnificent…”

The Extra Mile

“It can serve as a vehicle to educate and inform and inspire others to come forward and break their silence and promote their healing and recovery. The documentary is deserving of your attention. Don’t miss it.”

La Estatuilla

“Silent Beauty” es una película que cumple con la belleza prometida por su título: un trabajo en el cual la voz de Jasmín nos guía en un viaje de sanación y catarsis a través de una experiencia de la que poco se habla pero que muchas padecen.”

The moveable fest

“López and cinematographer Bron Moyi quite literally create the space within frames so that any isolation that anyone feels speaking about abuse comes across in what they can’t bring themselves to say just yet and still you can sense the trust in the room from simply being able to talk to one another.”

But Why Tho Podcast

“López superbly balances the tone of the film. Despite the harrowing theme and the upsetting revelations awaiting you at every corner, its execution is calm and poetic. Every conversation with a family member is brimming with understanding and, due to remarkable editing and use of music, the film is never overwhelming. For instance, Gil Talmi’s score is deeply melancholic but also subtle and relaxing, which adds to the empathy that López is trying to communicate.”
