Kenneth Turan from the Los Angeles Times wrote «In addition to doing the interviews, director Arijon had other ways of making his narrative especially effective, starting with utilizing the film's delicate, otherworldly score by composer Florencia Di Concilio to add a disturbing air to the proceedings.»
"Arijon's footage underscores his thematic inquiry at least as effectively as Florencia Di Concilio’s moody ambient score." Mark Holcomb, Time Out New York.
Florencia has just finished the original soundtracks for "Maria y el Nuevo Mundo", by George Walker, and for "PilgrIMAGE", by Peter Wintonick, prolific award winning filmmaker and one of Canada's best known international documentarians.
