Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado

"Delightful and open-hearted..."

"Mucho Mucho Amor works for many reasons... the insightful interviews, the tight editing, revealing archival footage, and some stunning tarot-inspired animations..."

"You’ll wish the film had a less fluffy, more journalistic approach, but one assumes access to Mercado was key."

"It is a practically impossible task to bring the otherwordly down to Earth. But in... quiet moments, Mucho Mucho Amor finds the truth amid all the invention."

"The film is as visually sumptuous, emotionally honest, and deliciously captivating as Mercado himself."

"If the film tends toward convention, it is saved from cliche by the bejewelled and beguiling presence of Walter Mercado himself."

"The documentary is clearly lovingly made."

"A charming, uplifting documentary, as effective a tonic as a sunny horoscope forecast."

"(Costantini and Tabsch) celebrate and eulogise the late showman with disarming zest and respect."

"The film’s biggest revelation is that Mercado’s mystical, magnificent, big-hearted shtick was no fraud - he was always the real deal."
