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.

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.
