“Collantes, as an excellent disciple of Eric Rohmer, has constructed a meticulous portrayal of a disoriented woman. He makes great use of daily scenes and fluid dialogues, [...] but he never emphasizes, underlines or shouts to the viewer, preferring to allow the confusion that troubles the protagonist, who returns home after a long time living abroad, to slowly take over the ambience of the film and seep inside the audience's consciousness.” Cineuropa

“Brilliant, precise, warm and paused. [...] Whether consciously, or less so, the film also talks about what is happening to all of us right now. During this time, we have been forced to search for the sense in almost everything and this movie shows us how to recover the significance of that which has lost all meaning”. El Mundo

“’'The Art of Return' offers a vivid and multifaceted portrait of a complex human being: a woman of many layers, an imperfect heroine who would be perfectly at home in the films of Jean-Luc Godard or John Cassavetes, an heiress to the characters immortalized by actresses such as Anna Karina and Gena Rowlands.” Fotogramas
