Official submission of Switzerland for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 97th Academy Awards in 2025
Watched this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.Oftentimes I don’t see films from Peru as Peru cinema is pretty rare to come around.
Being one of the few Peru movies I had seen, this is pretty good
Filmmaker Klaudia Reynicke definitely takes a personal and interesting observation of the family dynamics between father and daughters and the dynamics were well-executed with good performances, strong direction and pretty good dialogue moments.Throughout, the camerawork is pretty good alongside the production designs, setting, and presentation used throughout.
The narrative is simple and although it is predictable and slightly cheesy, the emotional core, direction and the good performances help to keep the story still interesting
Including some interesting insight to the political turmoil of Peru and the dynamic relationships between the father and children.Overall, it is a good warm and sweet movie.
