"Ultimately good-hearted and gracefully handled enough to transcend the leisurely slightness of its material."

"It's a project that could easily be weighed down with nostalgia or over-determination, but there's a generosity and humour about the performances and the direction that keep the film light and buoyant."

"A tender, comedic, coming-of-age story which bristles with poignant references to the lingering effects of Spain’s dictatorship."

"Remarkably, the film manages to take on political import while telling a charming, whimsical story of three people who set out to meet Lennon on location."
