Community Reviews

Viewers find 'Love According to Dalva' a deeply moving and sensitively handled film about a young girl's traumatic experience with incest and her subsequent path to recovery. The film's portrayal of delicate subjects through a powerful narrative and exceptional performances, especially by the young lead, has been highly praised. However, some felt that certain themes could have been explored more deeply, despite the film's overall effectiveness in handling a difficult topic.

👍 Exceptional performance by the young lead.

👎 Some themes might feel underexplored.
