[Ned Netherwood · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hats off for taking a Lina's eye view of her career, framed thoroughly from her perspective instead of from her husband's. Also kudos for being there at the right time, when they had amassed such a body of work behind them but a good 13 years before Jess got the Goya award.

Intriguing to see a few films here that always get credited as directed by him under her name, as her own work here from their own lips too.

Synd att intervjun med Romay inte gick så djupt. Har inte gjorts så mycket biografier om damen och man vill ju veta mer om hennes och Francos relation. Okej läsning, inga dunder detaljer, men lyckas täcka alla Linas filmer ända till -96 samt reda ut lite myter.
