		Glenn Heath Jr. The Film Stage	"An achievement in nearly every frame (...) 'Francisca' is one of the greatest films about wasted time, even as it wastes not a single second of ours"
		Carson Lund Slant	"To squander time and energy on trivial matters is a tragedy perhaps greater than death, de Oliveira suggests, and 'Francisca' delivers this truth with shrewd frankness and a wry smirk"
		Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"Oliveira limits himself to showing only what can truly be shown: not the story but a representation of the story (...) A masterpiece of the modern cinema, difficult but extremely rewarding"
