When Pedro Almodovar endorses a movie, it is worth a watch.

I can’t recall a recent movie that is more attuned to both the challenges and the opportunities that parenthood brings to bear upon not only the parents but also upon the entire family at large.

A generational drama about the complexities of parent child dynamics, particularly the much overlooked mother daughter relationship, its resounding empathy is matched only by its astonishing craft.

As the movie progresses, it transforms into a clear and direct reflection on the role of women as caregivers, focusing on the imposed responsibilities of a patriarchal society. [Full review in Spanish]

Sweet, with uneven performances and heavy-handed politics.

Angle on motherhood you've not seen before. Is a baby gift from heaven or from hell? Amaia has run out of resources, but so has everyone else. Brilliantly acted and directed. Masterpiece.
