"Pedroza’s hand-drawn animation emphasises the marks that life leaves on us with the way that the movement of objects is coloured over, mostly erasing their former position, but not quite. It creates visual echoes that follow the characters and their actions, meaning that what they say and do feels like it remains on screen long after the fact. In the same moment as its characters seek to dislocate themselves from bodily manifestations of their ailments, Sorgo and Pedroza remind us of the lingering past through the visible fingerprints of the film’s physical creation.“ review by Ben Nicholson for The Film Verdict
"The man holds the bleeding heart that has just been removed in his hand for a while. Mr Ham, as he is called, imitates Hamlet in Shakespeare’s famous work, who holds the jester’s skull in his hand. Then parodying the famed monologue To be or not to be, that is the question, Mr Ham mumbles: Subject—object—subject—object." Review by Isabel Roy and Verena Nees for World Socialist Web Site
"In making Tako Tsubo, Eva Pedroza and Fanny Sorgo opted for sophisticated watercolour drawings and very precise colour choices within a predominantly minimalist mise-en-scène, which proved to be the right solution for telling the protagonist’s unique story." Review by Marina Pavido for Cinema Austriaco (in German, Italian and English)
"Es ist leichter, mit dem Rauchen aufzuhören als mit der Liebe, sagt der Mann ohne Herz. Ja, aber ich liebe das Rauchen, erwidert die Frau ohne Lunge. Kein schlechter Schmäh, den Eva Pedroza und Fanny Sorgo in ihrem Regiedebüt Tako Tsubo beweisen. Der deutsch-österreichische Animationsfilm hatte unlängst Premiere bei der Berlinale, jetzt läuft er im internationalen Wettbewerb beim Wiener Festival Tricky Women/Tricky Realities". Mention by Michael Omasty for Falter
