Song Without a Name Reviews
Slant Magazine
Steven Nguyen Scaife
The film is strikingly fixated on exploring loss and pain on an intimate and personal scale.

Robert Daniels
León's impressive debut is a sorrowful elegy, a funeral without the body, and a beautifully wrought lament to the voiceless.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Their worlds are caught in silvers and blacks by Inti Briones, constrained by the box-like restrictions of academy format filmstock - a deliberate claustrophobia similar to what Robert Eggers achieved by using Movietone ratio in The Lighthouse.
Hyperallergic
Ela Bittencourt
Its majestic, emotionally charged imagery, and stark vision of unredeemed humanity, are immensely engrossing.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
This is a really powerful movie... There's a folkloric quality, but it doesn't aestheticize the pain that these people are going through.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Claudia Puig
Atmospheric, evocative, and artful... You are completely enthralled and enraptured.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
The narrative drifts, but the alienation communicated by the movie's images feels purposeful and striking.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Earthy with social detail from a despairing period of Peru's recent history, it's also shot, scored and styled like the most beautiful of bad dreams.
Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
Leon seems firmly in command of the material, bringing a strong voice and an even stronger eye to this Kafka-esque tale of low crimes and high-level corruption.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
Stark, poetic and somewhat frustrating.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
What makes Song Without a Name such a powerful drama is a whole-hearted central performance from Mendoza.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
The power of [Melina] León's work lies in the way that she explores these themes without ever taking her finger off the pulse of the narrative. The ache that Georgina feels in the absence of her child is palpable and always remains in focus.
Counterpunch.org
Louis Proyect
Austere, minimalist art film that does justice to the subject matter, Peru's dark days in the 1980s when newborns were stolen from their mom. Not much has changed, I'm afraid.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
Never hurried, the story unfolds at a measured pace with maximum impact devoid of sensationalism.
Big Apple Reviews
Harvey S. Karten
Slowly and with cutting photography unfolds a scandal inspired by the theft of babies in Peru during the 1980s for sale to Americans and Europeans.
KPBS.org
Beth Accomando
León's film has a deep sadness at its core yet it does not abandon all hope for change. It's a haunting first feature that engages more as a visual poem than conventional narrative but it proves deeply affecting.
Midwest Film Journal
Evan Dossey
A dazzling, emotional debut feature.
Cine Sin Fronteras
Rene Sanchez
An assured feature debut that examines and denounces a harrowing story of social injustice in Peru. [Full Review in Spanish]
Film Inquiry
Soham Gadre
There is a whirlwind of the unknown in Leon's film that makes injustice into a demoralizingly convoluted puzzle that's impossible to solve, especially for those most subjugated to its cruelty.
