This is a lovely debut effort from new filmmakers Iana Simeonov and Michael Winokur. Images and sounds are orchestrated to make real for the viewer the experiences in the mind of a young girl in a migrant labor camp who sees beyond her shabby surroundings and envisions the beauty that swirls around us in the everyday experiences we all encounter.
The casting is wonderful, and Mia Xitlali who plays the young girl, Rosario, has a big career ahead of her. The pacing is great.
An impressive piece of filmmaking. This unexpected story is very subtle and smooth it its progression, picking up every detail and texture along the way.
Selling Rosario is a beautifully told story that challenges the audience to use their six senses, asking them to reevaluate their stereotypes. The imagery is simply stunning and is accompanied by an intelligent and luscious soundtrack, both of which capture your attention leading you on a journey to an unexpected ending.
