“The film finds room for humor and laughter, for pathos and catharsis. Nicot encourages us to look at Dalva not with pity but with grace. It’s an astounding feat of filmmaking, particularly for the way it avoids facile moralistic or didactic approaches to telling Dalva’s story. Instead it does what cinema is so well-suited to accomplishing, allowing us to inhabit another person’s consciousness by seeing the world through their eyes, their pain and even their trauma.”
Variety - Manuel Betancourt
“An explosion from within, a silent shockwave”
Le Monde
“I can’t think of another movie I was so reluctant to watch, but after it started I couldn’t look away”
The Guardian – Cath Clarke
“A sensitively handled exploration that navigates dark subject matter with compassion, warmth and great performances. The success of Love According to Dalva as compelling drama hinges squarely on the casting of its young heroine. Nicot and her mostly female team have done excellent work here: Samson is a real discovery”
The Film Verdict - Stephen Dalton
Hjärtevärmande, drabbande och oväntad feelgood när mörkret skingras och livet återerövras.
En kväll hämtas Dalva av myndigheterna samtidigt som hennes pappa grips av polisen. Hon blir ursinnig och kräver att få komma till honom. Men pappan hålls häktad och Dalva måste påbörja en motvillig resa mot insikt, tillbaka till barndom, gemenskap och känslor.
