Tough, vibrant drama about embattled young mother, finishing with a question that's unexpected, yet just right.
Second Capsule:
Director Belén Funes, in her debut, has the stylistic coherence and emotional force of Jacques Audiard. Her lead, Greta Fernández, astounds.
VOR:④
Without seeming derivative, feels like a tissue-graft of Rosetta into the legacy of maternal melodrama. Keen eye for the individual and the social.
