VOLVER (2006)

watched this with my friends at movie night and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. this is the first Pedro Almodóvar film i’ve ever seen and i want to see more! incredible intergenerational story of healing and humor and tragedy. perfectly captures the feeling of something irrevocably life changing happening to you, then having to do the laundry. very heavy themes so beware of that — but so worth a watch 🕊️

A real pain

I had been waiting what felt like a year and a half for this movie. In Mexico we don’t get most nominated films immediately. Instead theater chains do a “film festival” marketing in Jan (which tends to be a slow month for films) and they bring every single nominated film scattered throughout jan-feb. So I did a mini film festival for myself, on mon i watched “a complete unknown”, yesterday “i’m still here” and today “a real pain”. It’s been a hard week, I was bummer out that i was feeling sad when i had been waiting so long for this one but i got ready, dressed up, walked to the local movie theater and by the time i got there i was feeling so happy and excited. This movie was exactly what I needed. Without giving too much away, it’s about two cousins traveling to Poland to know where their grandmother came from. I traveled there back in 2019 and I really enjoyed seeing places I had been to in a movie I had waited for so long, that was really exciting! Kieran and Jesse playing the role of cousins gave truly amazing, moves-me-to-my-core performances. It was interesting how I could relate to a certain degree with both characters which are polar opposites. I don’t think I was able to say why I am recommending it, maybe I’m just feeling to much and the feelings haven’t translated into words just yet. All in all to say, please do yourselves a favor and go watch this one! I’m sure you will love it as much as I have.

The wind that shakes the barley (2006)

This is a movie I wouldn’t have chose to watch for myself, but a friend recommended it and it has become one of my favorites. It is absolutely heartbreaking.
