Production[edit]

Wandering Heart is an Argentine-Brazilian-Spanish-Chilean-Dutch international co-production by Ruda Cine, RT Features, Vértigo Films, Quijote Films and Keplerfilm.[4] It was shot in between Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.[5]

Release[edit]

The film was released directly on HBO Max in Argentina on 9 October 2021.[6] It received a theatrical release at Buenos Aires' Cine Gaumont [es] on 14 October 2021.[7] The film screened at the 26th Queer Lisboa International Queer Film Festival on 18 September 2022.[8] It was released theatrically in Spain on 1 April 2022 under the title Ámame by Vértigo.[9][10]

Reception[edit]

Alfonso Rivera of Cineuropa considered that while the film's premise "is not particularly original" and "some of the characters can end up seeming excessively distraught and querulous", its lead actor manages to pull off a "miracle" by never ceasing to fascinate the audience with the portrayal of a "romantic, lonesome animal in pain".[4]

Javier Ocaña [es] of El País wrote that the helmer moves his gaze (and the camera) around an "immense actor in a state of grace" [portraying] a character who could well be the same one as [Sbaraglia's] in Pain and Glory.[11]

Reviewing for the International Cinephile Society, Matthew Joseph Jenner rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be "a compassionate and poignant immersion into the lives of these characters as they voyage through the world, unearthing its secrets and embracing its unconventional nature".[12]
