Watch Violeta Went to Heaven Best Movies

Loosely based on Ángel Parra's memoirs of his mother Violeta Parra, the film offers a multi-faceted and lyrical portrayal of an influential figure in world music and complex cultural icon of Chile's history. Violeta Parra's revival of Chilean traditional music galvanized a socially and politically committed pan-Latin American folk music movement, the "nueva canción," and became a reference for other Latin American artists committed to their national legacies.(c) Kino Lorber Unrated

Review For Movie Violeta Went to Heaven

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.
Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader

With its clarity and depth, Gavilan's singing is as good as her acting.
Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times

The biographical bits soon feel like a distraction from the music, performed by Gavilán. It's heard often, but not often enough.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post

poignant portrait of an artist unable to escape the stamp of her class or the burdens of aging.
Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times

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.
Simon Abrams-Village Voice

A rare Chilean film that doesn't mention either the Allende or Pinochet regimes, Violeta Went to Heaven is a love letter to a lost 20th-century goddess. It's hard to resist her.
Michael Atkinson-Time Out New York

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.
Diego Costa-Slant Magazine

The great draw here is theater, television and film actress Francisca Gavilán's performance as the conflicted, lonely multi-talent.
Donald J. Levit-ReelTalk Movie Reviews

Unlike most awards-grubbing biopics, this one feels no need to telegraph its own difficulty.
Sam Adams-AV Club

A well-acted and well-directed musical biodrama about the life and career of the Chilean singer and songwriter Viola Parra.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

More enjoyable as an exploration of Parra's music than her life, and well-performed by lead Francisca Gavilán.
Shaun Munro-What Culture
