Amanda

Reviews

• "A refreshingly unconventional and acidic deadpan comic portrait of an offbeat female friendship."
  - Screen International
• "It is a film of style and surface, and these are cleverly created and maintained."
  - Guardian
• "In a world where everyone feels lonely, Amanda might be our most authentic avatar, someone willing to get super weird in the hopes it will lead somewhere great. For Cavalli and AMANDA the results speak for themselves: The film, and its titular heroine, are great indeed."
  - IndieWire
• "AMANDA is absurd and abrasive, but also sympathetic thanks to Porcaroli’s performance. She’s a flaming narcissist with a gooey core of vulnerability, a being forged by the fear of making herself known."
  - The New York Times
• "Writer-director Carolina Cavalli crafts a refreshingly unconventional and acidic deadpan comic portrait of an offbeat female friendship."
  - Screen Daily
• "AMANDA never lets its guard down or soft-pedals its protagonist’s preoccupation with herself, even as it slyly lampoons the culture and society that not only creates but enables rich characters."
  - San Jose Mercury News
• "Carolina Cavalli’s film consecrates a ferocity as refreshing as it is infectious."
  - Slant Magazine
• "As oddly endearing as it is enraging."
