Violeta Went to Heaven Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
The formulaic storytelling has the unfortunate effect of making her extraordinary story feel familiar, though Wood's impressionistic style is a refreshing antidote to the portentousness one comes to expect from movies like this.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
With its clarity and depth, Gavilan's singing is as good as her acting.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
Suffers from an overtly conventional way of depicting the life events of an anything-but-conventional woman, a lazy flaw further highlighted by its brief moments of visual experimentation.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
The biographical bits soon feel like a distraction from the music, performed by Gaviln. It's heard often, but not often enough.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
poignant portrait of an artist unable to escape the stamp of her class or the burdens of aging.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
The great draw here is theater, television and film actress Francisca Gaviln's performance as the conflicted, lonely multi-talent.
AV Club
Sam Adams
Unlike most awards-grubbing biopics, this one feels no need to telegraph its own difficulty.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
Violeta Went to Heaven's creators do a disservice to Chilean singer and multi-hyphenate artist Violeta Parra's legacy by making her suicide the logical climax to her working life.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A well-acted and well-directed musical biodrama about the life and career of the Chilean singer and songwriter Viola Parra.
