- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One to watch when you can give it your full attention.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A young man completing an assignment for his film class invites Marieda, a middle-aged woman, over to his aunt's house to rehearse for a drama she believes they will eventually record. But she doesn't realize that she is being videotaped since her arrival.
