Press

“The visually-stunning fairly tale is surely one of the most stylish of Berlinale’s Generation offers.” – John Hopewell, Variety

“Based on two stories by renowned Brazilian writer Hilda Hilst, Unicorn takes up many of the author’s themes – sexuality, physicality, desire, death, and the pain they can inflict, or that people inflict upon each other – in a visual form that enhances the tension between a reality depicted with great faith to details and the magical realism that characterizes much of Hilst’s work.” – FilmFestivals.com

“Unicórnio is created to explore the more sensory aspects of experiencing film, whilst paying unique homage to the words of a national icon [Hilda HIlst].” – Jodie McNeilly, FilmExplorer
