"It is not too risky to state that in the national cinema 1972 was the year for My Dearest Señorita, an extremely difficult exercise of equilibrium between nuance and gentleness. The film has proved many more things than it seemed at first, and among them that any theme, regardless how delicate it may be, could be dealt on its own. (....) My Dearest Señorita, an award wining movie for its actors, script and producer, closes 1972 with a second award at the Chicago International Festival and a nomination for the Academy Award in Hollywood."

"The audacity of the theme is surprising and the simplicity to solve it is impressive. We have rarely seen such a precise, discreet and lucid script with a more skilful presentation and direction of a problem. But Armiñán's admirable work would not had reached its brilliant peak without the amazing rendition of José López Vazquez in one of the shrewdest, most intelligent and qualified renditions we have ever seen in movies. A wonder of equilibrium."

"Unforgetable."

Pilar Castro

‘My Dearest Señorita is one of the best films of the Spanish cinema."

INSTITUTO CERVANTES LISBOA

"My Dearest Señorita is the story of a painful and doubtful learning process and a love story too that goes beyond obstacles, norms or limitations. You must look beyond appearances to discover what is underneath. In short, My Dearest Señorita is one of those Spanish films that are made from time to time and which could be described as good without being paternalist."

FOTOGRAMAS
José Mª Carreño

"A reflexion on the loneliness of the human being and his terrifying frustration and vulnerability against a society which not only hasn't been able to equip him to cope with it, but is aggressive and intolerant of any type of singularity. Apart from the many things it is, it seems to be or it may be, My Dearest Señorita proposes, above all, an unusual, ambiguous, sad, impossible, transgressing, wild and moving love story."

Antonio Giménez-Rico

"Wonderful."

EL CULTURAL
Juan Palomo

"When the film produced by José Luis Borau was premiered, it was a real scandal. Today it is nothing more than an excellent movie which tells the story of a woman who discovers she is a man."

EL MUNDO
Cecilia Ballesteros

"A subtle comedy of mores on the delicate predicament of women at the end of Franco's era. This film was one of the biggest successes of our cinema in the seventies with a sound script written by José Luis Borau and Armiñán and the incredible performance of José Luis López Vazquez. Efficient and highly recommended."

EL PAIS

"In 1971, four years before Franco's death, busloads of Spaniards regularly crossed the border into France to spend a day watching movies that featured people without their clothes on. Franco-era censorship had become so obsessed with nudity that a high-voltage erotic film such as My Dearest Señorita could be made without being censored only because it did not reveal its characters' secret skin. My Dearest Señorita is not simply about an individual's heroic struggle to defend his sexual identity: it is a drama about boundless desire, showing that love pays no attention to reason, appearance, or gender."

MOMA

"Resting on José Luis López Vázquez's immense talent, Armiñán dissects the identity of an immature and disoriented country, unable to assume its own situation and lagging many years behind other places; a country which needs to wake up to life as soon as possible."
