Featured review
Beautifully subtle and powerful!
As someone who's been through some of the exact same scenes and situations as Lucia goes through, this was brutal to watch. But at the same time, this is such an earnest, honest, sensitive and realistic portrayal of its subject matter that despite how sadly relatable it was to me, it still managed to be a hopeful film that shines a bright light on Transgender Youth like no other I've seen. It reminded me a lot of "Tomboy" from Céline Sciamma, particularly because you can tell she's not going for a exploitative approach, but instead one that is deeply empathetic in telling this girl's story, still having an identity of her own. Major props for Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren in her directorial debut, she did a fantastic job and I'll be on the lookout for whatever she does next. Her camera work is subtle and poignant, the film is shot beautifully, there's a lot of care put into the characters which makes us connect with their day-to-day lives, and the performances are all excellent.
But the one who deserves the biggest praise here is young actress Sofía Otero, who delivers one of the best child performances I've ever seen in any media. The film deeply depends on her performance to communicate the struggles that Lucia goes through, but still keeping her as a realistic kid, and she knocks it out the park with such ease that it's hard to believe that she's acting. She totally deserved the Silver Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival and I hope she has a great career ahead of her. I'll admit that maybe I'm a little bit biased because this movie hits very close to my own fight for gender identity, but it doesn't mean my opinion isn't valid. This is a magnificent little film that I loved it so much and goes straight into the top of my list for 2023. Very glad I was able to check it out in theaters and I hope this gets a wider release and becomes more accessible soon, because I feel that everybody should see it. I myself can't wait to see it again as soon as possible.
