Elena is at once a portrait, an autobiography and a history of family trauma.
August 8, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
The movie becomes a defiant reversal of that sentiment, an act of creation in the face of death.
July 7, 2014 | Full Review… -

Costa may not be detail-oriented when it comes to the minutiae of her sister's biography, but when it comes to creating emotional portraiture, she's exhaustive.
June 5, 2014 | Rating: A- | Full Review… -
