“New Brunswick stage actor and playwright Bell is sensational in her first film role as Olive. She glows — sometimes literally — as a woman slowly realizing she might not have been living the life she wants, and grappling with everything that means.”

“Martinez’s film takes admirable swings in what amounts, at the end of the day, to a character study of Olive and her desires—latent and burgeoning—as a bisexual woman and a mother. Caroline Bell’s performance (shockingly her first time acting on film) is what anchors the film’s emotional core amidst Martinez’s experimentations”

“ Do I Know You From Somewhere? boasts a striking credits sequence that leads into an engrossingly off-kilter opening stretch – with the impact of the picture’s first act heightened by the terrific work of its two central actors. Bell is especially strong and mesmerizing here to be sure.”

“At the centre of this movie is Caroline Bell, making her feature debut, and she has a real screen presence to her. Couldn’t quite take my eyes off her anytime she was onscreen which is pretty much the entire film. That meet cute sequence…she is incredibly charming and engaging and funny and vulnerable.”

“Do I Know You From Somewhere?, anchored by Bell’s stirring, sympathetic turn, is well made enough and entertaining enough to confirm Martinez’s place as an up-and-comer worth watching. (And this is to say nothing of the almost note-perfect final scene.)”

“The central character, Olive, is perfectly played by stage actress and performance artist Caroline Bell in her first film role.”
