  • Benavidez's Case (2016)

    Working with a tightly restricted budget, Casabé has created a film that looks magnificent.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5

  • Music On Hold (2009)
    Review preview for Music On Hold

    It’s not an original scenario but Music On Hold’s charm is in its characters and humour, not its plot.

    Leanne McGrath · 3 out of 5
    A charming but predictable romantic comedy about pretence, pregnancy, piano and plagiarism.

    Aleandro beautifully captures Alicia's sense of loss as everything around her falls apart.

    Gary Duncan · 4 out of 5

  • Only Human (2005)
    Review preview for Only Human

    The script is very well written, with no wasted opportunities for wit and innuendo, and the direction is deliberate and purposeful.

    Picture a modern day Romeo and Juliet, except not by Shakespeare, and in Spanish!
