Quattrini has dared to extract beauty and tenderness from a cursed city, one that we long believed was denied to our cinema.
Sebastián Pimentel, Somos (Perú)
A delight. The protagonist acts with a joy, irreverence, and benevolence that cinema is rarely capable of these days.
Fabio Ferzetti, Il Messaggero (Italy)
Quattrini presents a fascinating point of view and achieves an extraordinary atmosphere of cross-cutting tensions.
Diego Lerer, Clarín (Argentina)
With a flavor and richness that seemed lost since “Gatica, el mono” and “Pizza, birra, faso”.
Horacio Bernades, Página 12 (Argentina)
A fascinating and irresistible collage. A celebrated debut for Quattrini in feature films.
Diego Batlle, La Nación (Argentina)
“Chicha tu madre” reveals a filmmaker with a personal point of view who can contribute to renewing Peruvian cinema.
Isaac León Frías, La Primera (Perú)
Different from anything you’ve seen before, it ends up addressing universal themes without even spelling them out.
