BackStageWest
"Critic's Pick" by Les Spindle

"Hollywood history and creative license merge seamlessly in the lalest vehicle from multi-tasking writer-director-producer-actress Odalys Nanin, driving force behind the impressive Macha Theatre Co. Nanin serves up a wryly funny portrait of this feisty Latina spitfire, who's used to getting what she wants until she stumbles across the un-meltable Swedish ice princess. Even more extraordinary is the pitch-perfect work of Denier as the self-involved drama queen."

Los Angeles Times
by Philip Brandes

"It's an intriguing,well-performed portrait of romantic obsession and the attraction of opposites, skillfully shaped with emotionally probing dialogue...as De Acosta, Nanin displays convincing sensitivity, wit and disarming candor."
