EL DIARIO DE SEVILLA TALKS ABOUT THE FLAME OF A CANDLE
"André Gil Mata seems to be a filmmaker from another era; his works are linked to the aspirations and grandeur of cinema [...]. Thus, in his film, movement and time meet and separate, come closer and drift apart, as in this circular tracking shot around a table where he manages to travel through the past of a family story while slowly moving through the room, or in this final and moving long take; one of the unforgettable moments of this festival."

CAHIERS DU CINEMA TALKS ABOUT THE LIGHT OF A CANDLE.
"The filmmaker also sharpens the senses by staying away from a plot that would overwhelm everything, and restores the texture of moments where a feeling of solitude predominates through a relationship with objects and spaces, slowly traversed through hypnotic tracking shots."
By Olivia COOPER-HADJIA
